The purpose of the JSC shall be to serve as a forum for discussing, monitoring and sharing information with respect to the Parties’ Exploitation of the Compounds and Products in the Company Field in the Company Territory and in the TESARO Field in the TESARO Territory, and to resolve any Deadlocked Committee Matter pursuant to Section 2.1(d).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, Exploitation of the Compounds or Products by or on behalf of TESARO, in each case, (i) for Combination Products, Co-Packaged Products or Combination Use in the TESARO Field in the TESARO Territory or (ii) in Japan, shall not be subject to the oversight or authority of the JSC or any other Joint Committee; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the provisions of ARTICLE 7 with respect to the allocation of Single Agent Products or Compound API in the event of an anticipated or actual shortage or any provisions of this Agreement expressly requiring TESARO to provide to a Joint Committee or Company any reports, plans or other information regarding Exploitation of Compounds or Products by or on behalf of TESARO, except to the extent Combination Products, Co-Packaged Products or Combination Use in the TESARO Field are expressly excluded from such provisions.

Committee Matter and seek in good faith to determine a resolution.  If the Executive Officers do not agree upon a resolution in a timely manner, which shall in no case be more than thirty (30) calendar days after the Deadlocked Committee Matter was referred to them, then such Deadlocked Committee Matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(ii) and the relevant provision of this Agreement pursuant to which such Deadlocked Committee Matter was referred to the JSC.  The procedures set forth in this Section 2.1(d)(i) are referred to as the “Escalation Procedures.”

(ii)If another provision of this Agreement expressly designates a matter as a Deadlocked Committee Matter and provides: (A) for a resolution methodology or a specific final resolution with respect to such Deadlocked Committee Matter in the event mutual agreement is not reached other than final decision-making authority of a Party (e.g., resolution by an independent Third Party accountant, or the status quo prevails), then such resolution methodology or specific final resolution shall be binding on the Parties; or (B) that one of the Parties has final decision-making authority with respect to such Deadlocked Committee Matter in the event mutual agreement is not reached, then the decision of the Party with final decision-making authority on such matter shall be final and binding on the Parties subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(d)(iii). 

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party may exercise its final decision-making authority with respect to a Deadlocked Committee Matter to: (1) amend this Agreement or a Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement; (2) determine that either Party has fulfilled or breached a Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (3) make any decision that expressly requires TESARO’s or Company’s approval or agreement or the approval or agreement of both Parties under this Agreement; (4) resolve any dispute regarding whether a Milestone Event has been achieved, the amount of any royalties or other payments owed by one Party to the other Party, or the Net Sales of a Product allocable to an Indication; (5) resolve any dispute regarding whether a matter is a Deadlocked Committee Matter or subject to TESARO or Company final decision-making under this Agreement, or whether a matter is a Dispute hereunder; (6) cause either Party to violate Applicable Law or regulatory requirements; or (7) cause the other Party to violate or not be in compliance with its own health care compliance policies and procedures of general application, consistently applied by such Party and its Affiliates, or any corporate integrity agreement to which such Party is subject.

(iv)Except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to the Deadlocked Committee Matters, no matter, decision, or action of the Parties shall require the agreement, approval or consent of a Joint Committee. 

(v)If another provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the Parties to engage a Third Party accounting firm to resolve a Deadlocked Committee Matter, the following terms shall apply:

(2)        Such accounting firm shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after such firm is engaged, deliver a report to each Party with its analysis and determination of such Deadlocked Committee Matter. 

(3)        The costs of such firm’s services shall be shared equally by the Parties (for clarity, subject to Section 8.11 in the event of any audit conducted thereunder).

(e)General Performance.  If either Party reasonably believes that the other Party intends to take any action relating to any Compound or Product that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Party’s Development or Commercialization of the Compounds or Products in its Field in its Territory, then such Party may so notify the other Party; provided,  however, that this Section 2.1(e) shall not apply with respect to any Deadlocked Committee Matter or any matter that a Joint Committee is expressly authorized to determine, approve or resolve under this Agreement.  If a Party receives a notice pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) and it has not yet taken the action identified therein, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to refrain from taking such action until the Parties have attempted to resolve the notifying Party’s concerns in accordance with this Section 2.1(e).  The Parties shall meet promptly thereafter (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter) to discuss the concerns raised in such notice and shall use good faith efforts to agree upon a mutually acceptable resolution to such concerns within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the notice.  If the Parties do not agree upon a resolution within such thirty (30) day period, either Party may, by written notice to the other, have the matter referred to the Executive Officers for resolution.  The Executive Officers shall meet promptly to discuss such matter and to seek in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable resolution.  If the Executive Officers do not agree upon a resolution in a timely manner, which shall in no case be more than ten (10) calendar days after the matter was referred to them, then the final decision regarding the taking, or refraining from taking, the applicable action will be made by the Party proposing

to take such action, or, if either Party has the sole right under this Agreement to take such action, the Party with the sole right to take the action.  For the avoidance of doubt, if a Party has the right to take an action under this Agreement, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if such Party takes such action prior to the conclusion of the process contemplated by this Section 2.1(e); provided, that (i) it is reasonably necessary for such Party to take such action, and (ii) such Party sought in good faith to reach mutual agreement on the matter.

potential error.  If such investigation confirms or reveals an error, Company shall correct and re-issue the Royalty Payment Report within [***].  If TESARO has already issued an invoice to Company with respect to the applicable Calendar Quarter, then promptly following receipt of such re-issued Royalty Payment Report, TESARO shall issue an invoice or a credit note, as applicable, equal to the amount of the difference between the royalty payment due as set forth in the re-issued report and the royalty payment due as set forth in TESARO’s original invoice for such Calendar Quarter and, if applicable, Company shall pay such invoice in accordance within [***] after receipt.  If TESARO has not yet issued an invoice to Company with respect to the applicable Calendar Quarter, then TESARO shall use the re-issued Royalty Payment Report to prepare the invoice for such Calendar Quarter in accordance with this Section 8.7.

(b)For the Company, with respect to sales of a Product invoiced in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, such amounts and the amounts payable hereunder shall be expressed in their U.S. Dollars equivalent calculated using the Currency Hedge Rates.  For each Calendar Year during which royalties become due under Section 8.4, Company shall provide TESARO the Currency Hedge Rate to be used for the local currency of each country in the Company Territory in which any royalty-bearing Net Sales are expected to occur, in writing no later than [***] after the Currency Hedge Rate(s) are available [***], which is customarily [***].  Each Currency Hedge Rate will remain constant throughout the upcoming Calendar Year.  Company shall use the Currency Hedge Rate(s) to convert Net Sales to U.S. Dollars for the purpose of calculating royalty payments hereunder.

(a)Obligations under TESARO License Agreements.    TESARO shall be solely responsible for the payment of any royalties, sublicense revenues, milestones or other payments that become due under the TESARO License Agreements as a result of the Exploitation of the Compounds and Products in the Company Field in the Company Territory or in the TESARO Field in the TESARO Territory.  Company shall notify TESARO in writing within [***] after the achievement of any of the milestone events set forth on Exhibit 8.2(d).

(b)Future License Agreements.  If, during the Term, either Party determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it is necessary to obtain a license or other rights under any Patent or other intellectual property owned or controlled by a Third Party in order to Exploit (A) a Single Agent Product or (B) a Compound, to the extent included in a Combination Product, in each case ((A) or (B)) in the Company Field in the Company Territory or in the TESARO Field in the TESARO Territory (such Patent or other intellectual property to the extent relating to the Compound, “Blocking Intellectual Property”), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the following provisions of this Section 8.9(b) shall apply.  

(i)If such Blocking Intellectual Property relates solely to the Exploitation of the Single Agent Products in the Company Field in the Company Territory or to the Exploitation of a Combination Product Developed by Company in the Company Field, then (x) Company shall have the sole right to negotiate and enter into an agreement with the applicable Third Party to obtain a license or other rights to such Blocking Intellectual Property (such agreement, a “Company Field License Agreement”) or (y) at Company’s expense, TESARO shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take any actions reasonably requested by Company to modify the Single Agent Product or the Exploitation thereof in the Company Field to avoid the need to obtain a license or other rights to such Blocking Intellectual Property. 

(ii)If such Blocking Intellectual Property relates solely to the Exploitation of the Single Agent Products in the TESARO Field in the TESARO Territory or to the Exploitation of a Combination Product Developed by TESARO in the TESARO Field, then TESARO shall have the sole right to negotiate and enter into an agreement with the applicable Third Party to obtain a license or other rights to such Blocking Intellectual Property (such agreement, a “TESARO Field License Agreement”).

good faith and attempt to agree upon a course of action, which may include (1) modifying the Products or the Exploitation thereof to avoid the need to obtain a license or other rights to such Blocking Intellectual Property or (2) entering into an agreement with the applicable Third Party to obtain a license or other rights to such Blocking Intellectual Property (such agreement, a “Cross-Indication License Agreement”).  If the Parties do not reach agreement within thirty (30) days, then TESARO shall have the right to determine the course of action.  TESARO shall have the right to negotiate and enter into any Cross-Indication License Agreement; provided,  however, that Company shall have the right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to the terms of such Cross-Indication License Agreement prior to TESARO’s execution thereof if: (A) such Cross-Indication License Agreement includes a grant of rights with respect to any product that is not a Product; or (B) any royalties, sublicense revenues, milestones or other payments payable to the applicable Third Party under such Cross-Indication License Agreement are different for the Company Field than the TESARO Field.

(c)Obligations under Company Field License Agreements.  Company shall be solely responsible for the payment of any royalties, sublicense revenues, milestones or other payments that become due under the Company Field License Agreements as a result of the Exploitation of the Products in the Company Field in the Company Territory.  Company may credit [***] of any such payments that are attributable and allocable to the Exploitation of a Combination Product or Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in the Company Field in the Company Territory against any TESARO Incremental Royalty amounts payable to TESARO under Section 8.4(b)(ii).  Company shall take such credit during any Calendar Quarter for which royalties are payable hereunder, provided that in no event will such credit, together with any reductions under Section 8.6, reduce such royalties payable to TESARO under Section 8.4(b)(ii) for such Calendar Quarter by more than [***].  Any share of such payments that cannot be credited during a Calendar Quarter as a result of the immediately preceding sentence may be carried forward and credited to subsequent Calendar Quarters.  For clarity, payments due under a Company Field License Agreement that are creditable against TESARO Incremental Royalty amounts under this Section 8.9(c) may also be creditable against the Pass-through Merck Royalty amounts under Exhibit 8.4(b)(i)(1), and Company shall credit [***] of such payments against the TESARO Incremental Royalty amounts (to the extent permitted under this Section 8.9(c)) and [***] of such payments against Pass-through Merck Royalty amounts (to the extent permitted under Exhibit 8.4(b)(i)(1)).

Agreements as a result of the Exploitation of the Products in the TESARO Field in the TESARO Territory.

(e)Obligations under Cross-Indication License Agreements.  TESARO shall be solely responsible for the payment of any royalties, sublicense revenues, milestones or other payments that become due under the Cross-Indication License Agreements as a result of the Exploitation of the Products in the TESARO Field in the TESARO Territory or the Company Field in the Company Territory (such payments, the “Shared Third Party Obligations”).  TESARO may deduct the portion of any Shared Third Party Obligation that is allocable to the Company Field from the Alliance Payments as further described in Exhibit 8.3;  provided that, in each relevant Alliance Payments Report, TESARO provides Company with a reasonable allocation of such proposed deduction as between the U.S. and non-U.S. markets.   

(f)If TESARO fails to pay any amount due under the Merck License Agreement, AstraZeneca License Agreements or any Cross-Indication License Agreement and such payment is not reasonably disputed by TESARO or the failure to make such payment has placed TESARO in breach of an agreement with the applicable Third Party, Company may elect, in its sole discretion upon [***] prior notice, to make such payment to such Third Party on behalf of TESARO.  If Company makes such payment to such Third Party, Company may deduct the amount of such payment from any payments that are owed or that become owed to TESARO under this Agreement or, if such deduction is not applicable, TESARO shall reimburse Company the amount of such payment within [***] after Company makes such payment. 

8.10Taxes.    

(a)The Parties agree to make all payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for Taxes, including Taxes pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law in effect at the time of payment.

(b)Any Tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement, regardless of whether such amounts are actually withheld from any amounts payable, shall be paid by payor on behalf of payee to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and payor shall furnish payee with proof of payment of such Tax.  Any Tax required to be withheld shall be an expense of and borne by payee.  If any such Tax is assessed against and paid by payor, then payee will indemnify and hold harmless payor from and against such Tax.

(c)Company and TESARO shall cooperate with respect to (i) minimizing any and all deductions or withholding on account of Taxes, including by taking reasonable actions necessary for the purpose of claiming treaty benefits that would reduce

Taxes owed in connection with any payments, such actions to include, but not be limited to, the provision of documentation required by any Governmental Authority or reasonably requested by a Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes, and (ii) obtaining any refunds in respect of Taxes deducted or withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payee is entitled under any applicable Tax treaty or otherwise to a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination of, the applicable withholding Tax, including FATCA withholding Tax, it may deliver to the payor or the appropriate Governmental Authority (with the assistance of the payor to the extent reasonably required) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the payor of its obligation to withhold Tax, and the payor shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or, as the case may be, dispense with withholding of Tax.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, as a result of (i) a permitted assignment of this Agreement (in whole or in part) by a Party owing payments under this Agreement (a “Paying Party”) to an Affiliate or a Third Party outside of the U.S. or (ii) the exercise by a Paying Party of its rights under this Agreement (in whole or in part) through an Affiliate or Third Party outside of the U.S. (or the direct exercise of such rights by an Affiliate of such Party outside of the U.S.), foreign withholding Tax in excess of the withholding Tax amount that would have been payable by such Paying Party in the absence of such assignment or exercise of rights becomes payable with respect to amounts due to the other Party hereunder or thereunder, such amounts owed by the Paying Party to the other Party (the “Non-Paying Party”) shall be increased for the Incremental Tax Cost (as defined below) so that the amount actually paid by such Paying Party to such Non-Paying Party equals the amount that would have been payable to such Non-Paying Party in the absence of the assignment or exercise of rights that caused the excess withholding (after withholding of the excess withholding Tax and any additional withholding Tax on such increased amount). However, if a similar assignment or exercise of rights described in (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence by a Non-Paying Party or the triggering of a change of control by a Non-Paying Party results in foreign withholding tax in excess of the withholding Tax amount that would have been payable in the absence of such assignment or exercise of rights to such Non-Paying Party, any amount due to such Non-Paying Party shall not be increased for such excess withholding and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the required amount shall be withheld and submitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority.  For the purposes of this Section 8.10, the “Incremental Tax Cost” shall equal any tax amount withheld under this Section 8.10 in each year in which such tax is withheld from the Non-Paying Party.  To the extent the Non-Paying Party utilizes a foreign tax credit or claims a deduction on its US Federal income tax returns related to any such Incremental Tax Cost that has the effect of reducing cash payments currently owed to the U.S. Federal government in any year, the Non-Paying Party will refund to the Paying Party an amount equal to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of

the foreign tax credit utilized or (ii) the cash tax benefit realized by the Non-Paying Party resulting from any related foreign tax deductions, which benefit will be calculated as the amount claimed as a deduction multiplied by the effective federal corporate tax rate applicable to the Non-Paying Party.  To assist the Paying Party in determining when a refund is due from the Non-Paying Party pursuant to the foregoing sentence, beginning with the first Annual tax return for the year in which the Paying Party pays the Non-Paying Party an increased payment under this Section 8.10, and each year thereafter (including, for clarity, all years in which the Non-Paying Party utilizes a tax credit or claims a deduction for any foreign tax that is withheld and ending when either no related foreign tax credit or previously claimed deduction remains to be utilized), the Non-Paying Party will provide the Paying Party with a certification by its third party tax return preparer as to the amount of credits utilized or deductions taken against taxes owed by the Non-Paying party in the current period and the cash benefit realized.

(e)The Parties hereby agree that each Party shall be entitled to any deductions for Tax purposes attributable to such Party pursuant to or permitted by Applicable Law and all Tax returns reflecting any such amounts shall be filed consistent with the foregoing.  For the avoidance of doubt, one hundred percent (100%) of amounts paid or incurred by TESARO pursuant to this Agreement shall be deductible or amortizable solely by TESARO, and one hundred percent (100%) of amounts paid or incurred by Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deductible or amortizable solely by Company.

information relevant to support the statement as to whether the royalties were calculated and paid accurately and shall not include any Confidential Information of either Party (or additional information that is ordinarily not included in the royalty reports) disclosed to the auditor during the course of the audit.  If the review of such records reveals that the other Party has failed to accurately report information, or make any payment (or portion thereof) required under this Agreement, then the other Party shall promptly pay to the auditing Party any underpaid amounts due, or otherwise due under this Agreement, together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 8.15.  If any such discrepancies are an underpayment of amounts due under this Agreement greater than [***] of the amounts actually due for any Calendar Year or TESARO Calendar Year, as applicable, the other Party shall pay all reasonable costs incurred in conducting such review.  Once a Party has conducted a review and audit of the other Party in respect of any given period, it may not subsequently re-inspect the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ records in respect of such period, unless a subsequent audit of a separate reporting period uncovers fraud on the part of the audited Party that is reasonably expected to have been occurring during the prior audited period.  For clarity, however, if a discrepancy is identified by the accountant during the course of an audit and the Parties do not agree upon a resolution of such discrepancy, then the auditing Party’s accountant may re-inspect the books and records to the extent reasonably relevant to resolving such discrepancy.  Additionally, Company shall (a) keep and maintain records of sales of Products until the later of (i) five (5) years after the end of the period to which such records pertain, and (ii) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law, and (b) if any audit conducted by Merck under the Merck License Agreement or by AstraZeneca under the AstraZeneca License Agreements reveals an underpayment of royalties, then Company shall be responsible for a proportional percentage of any audit fees due to Merck and/or AstraZeneca to the extent that such underpayment is attributable to Company Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales or Company Combination Product Net Sales.

advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information as it would to protect its own confidential information from disclosure. 

11.4Terms of this Agreement.    The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and all of the respective terms of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(f) and 11.6.

11.8Equitable Relief.    Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that could result to a Party upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this ARTICLE 11.  In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this ARTICLE 11.

Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee whether the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense of the applicable Proceeding.

(b)Control of Defense.   If, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an Indemnification Notice, the Indemnifying Party (i) notifies the Indemnitee that it desires to assume control of the applicable Proceeding and (ii) acknowledges in writing an obligation to indemnify or reimburse fully the Indemnitee and its Related Indemnitees for all Losses arising from the Proceeding for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under Section 14.1 or 14.2 as applicable  (which acknowledgment shall not be deemed or construed as an admission of liability, either under this ARTICLE 14 or otherwise), then, subject to Section 9.6 and Section 14.3(d), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, settle and otherwise dispose of such Proceeding; provided,  however, that if the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of such Proceeding, then the Parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to determine whether to enter into a joint defense agreement pursuant to which the Parties shall allocate the respective rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to the control of the Proceeding, including whether to designate one of the Parties as the defending Party.  In the event that there are two or more Indemnitees that are subject to the same Proceeding, this Section 14.3(b) shall be construed to apply separately to such Proceeding as it applies to each such Indemnitee, provided that the Parties shall take account of such fact in connection with their negotiations pursuant to this Section 14.3(b) with respect to the defense, control and settlement of such Proceeding as it applies to each such Indemnitee.  Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with its control of a Proceeding shall constitute Losses with respect to such Proceeding.

(c)Interim Control.  Unless and until the Parties determine which Party shall defend, settle and otherwise dispose of a Proceeding in accordance with Section14.3(b), the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend and control such Proceeding, but shall not have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Proceeding for which it would be seeking indemnification without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)Control by the Defending Party.  If the Parties determine that either Party shall defend, settle and otherwise dispose of a Proceeding (other than a Company Infringement Proceeding or TESARO Infringement Proceeding) in accordance with Section 14.3(b) (such Party, the “Defending Party”), then: (i) the other Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (from and after the Defending Party’s assumption of control of the Proceeding) and participate in the defense of the Proceeding but the Defending Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (ii) the other Party will not consent

to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Proceeding for which it would be seeking indemnification or reimbursement hereunder without the prior written consent of the Defending Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (iii) the Defending Party will not, without the prior written consent of the other Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Proceeding, to the extent such judgment or settlement (A) provides for equitable relief (or any other relief other than solely for money damages) or liability or obligation that cannot be assumed and performed by the Defending Party in full (without any recourse to the other Party and its Related Indemnitees), or for any monetary relief that will not be fully discharged by the Defending Party (without any recourse to the other Party and its Related Indemnitees) concurrently with the effectiveness of such judgment or settlement, provided that the other Party’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to the extent that the sole relief is monetary, (B) does not effect a full and unconditional release of the other Party and its Related Indemnitees with respect to all claims in such Proceeding (or the portion thereof to which the judgment or settlement relates), or (C) contains an admission of wrongdoing on the part of the other Party or its Related Indemnitees.  The Parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such Proceeding, provided that (x) an Indemnitee shall not be obligated pursuant to this sentence to enter into or consent to the entry of any judgment or settlement in relation to any Proceeding and (y) in any event, an Indemnifying Party shall not be relieved of its obligations under this sentence as a result of any breach of this sentence (determined after giving effect to clause (x)), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such breach.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief (or any other relief other than solely money damages) against the Indemnitee.  The Parties shall also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all non-privileged information relevant thereto to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the defense, settlement or other disposal of any Company Infringement Proceeding or TESARO Infringement Proceeding shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.6.

(e)Election Not to Control.  If there is no Defending Party with respect to a given Proceeding (other than a Company Infringement Proceeding or TESARO Infringement Proceeding), then the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume control of the Proceeding, at its cost and expense (or, to the extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or reimbursement with respect thereto pursuant to Section 14.1 or 14.2, at the expense of the other Party to such extent) upon delivery of notice to such effect to the other Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the Proceeding at its sole cost and

expense, but the Indemnitee shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof.

(f)Unauthorized Settlements.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Party is the Defending Party with respect to any Proceeding (other than a Company Infringement Proceeding or TESARO Infringement Proceeding), the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into, or any judgment that was consented to, by the Indemnitee with respect to such Proceeding without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g)Certain Infringement Losses.  Notwithstanding Section 14.2(h), any Losses that arise directly or indirectly out of a TESARO Infringement Proceeding that relates to the use or sale of a Single Agent Product in both the Company Field and TESARO Field in a given country shall be allocated between the Parties using the same methodology that Net Sales of such Single Agent Product in such country are allocated between the Parties in accordance with Exhibit 8.3.

(h)Allocations.  The allocation between the Parties (whether by indemnification, reimbursement or otherwise) of any Losses, if not otherwise determined in a court of law, shall be considered by the Parties and, if the Parties do not reach agreement in writing on such allocation, either Party shall have the right to refer the Dispute to dispute resolution pursuant to Section 13.1.  The Parties, the Executive Officers or the arbitrator, as the case may be, shall make such allocation based on the indemnification principles set forth in this ARTICLE 14.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall not be entitled to refer any Dispute with respect to Losses arising under a Proceeding pursuant to this Section 14.3(h) to arbitration to the extent that the liability of either Party for such Losses is being contested in such Proceeding (or any other Proceeding that would be binding with respect to such first Proceeding).

(i)Third Party Rights.  The Parties shall attempt in good faith to reach alignment with respect to the rights set forth in this Section 14.3, including any rights with respect to the control of any applicable Proceeding, to take into account the rights of any Third Party (e.g., a subcontractor of a Party) that has an obligation to indemnify any Party (or its Related Indemnitees) with respect to any Losses covered by this ARTICLE 14.

14.4Insurance.  At such time as Company or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees begins to sell or distribute Products, Company shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain product liability insurance in the amount of [***] Dollars ($[***]).

cancellation of any policy.  Company shall continue to maintain such insurance in effect after the expiration or termination of this Agreement during any period in which Company or its sublicensees continue to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell or import Products.  If any insurance is on a claims made basis, Company will maintain such insurance for a period of not less than five (5) years after it has ceased all commercial sale, distribution or use of any Product.  TESARO shall maintain the insurance amounts required by Section 11.06 of the Merck License Agreement.  Upon request, each Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a certificate of insurance for itself and, in the case of Company, its sublicensees, evidencing the coverage required under this Section 14.4 or Section 11.06 of the Merck License Agreement, as applicable.  Such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this ARTICLE 14.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that Company may meet its obligations under this Section 14.4 through self-insurance.    

14.5Limitation of Liability.     EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF EACH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 11, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLIED OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING FOR LOST PROFITS), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT.  NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 14.5 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL OPERATE TO LIMIT A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS OF INDEMNITY OR REIMBURSEMENT OF LOSSES UNDER THIS ARTICLE 14.

Change of Control transaction of the type described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 15.4.  Either Party may, without the consent of the other Party, assign this Agreement in its entirety to an Acquirer pursuant to a Change of Control transaction of the type described in clause (e) of the definition of “Change of Control” if such Acquirer agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Any purported assignment, transfer, subcontract or delegation by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 15.4 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.   

 

15.5Designation of Affiliates.    Each Party may discharge any obligation and exercise any right hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates.  Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance.  Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate. 

15.6Relationship of the Parties.    It is expressly agreed that TESARO, on the one hand, and Company, on the other hand, are independent contractors, and it is further agreed that the Parties fully intend and expect that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency.  Except as expressly provided herein, neither TESARO nor Company shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so.  All individuals employed by a Party shall be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.

15.7Force Majeure.    Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by Force Majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of such Force Majeure circumstances to the other Party.  Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting Force Majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure affecting such Party.  If a Force Majeure persists for more than ninety (90) days, then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure.  In the event a Party is prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure for more than six (6) months according to this Section 15.7, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ notice after the expiration of such period.  A termination under this Section 15.7 by either Party shall be treated as a termination under Section 12.4 and the corresponding provisions for termination under Section 12.9(a) shall apply.

15.11Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.    Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.  The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

15.12Further Assurance.    Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as

2.1  Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology.  No later than [***] prior to the anticipated First Prostate Use of a Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in any Major Market, the JCC, based on a recommendation by the JFC, will develop and approve a methodology that will be used to allocate sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products by indication in each of the Major Markets (the “Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology”). The Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology will also be used to allocate sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products by indication in any other countries deemed appropriate by the JCC (the “Other Included Countries”).  [***]  On an [***] basis, the JCC will reassess the Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology and its data sources for each of the Major Markets, for prospective use, and will use reasonable efforts to agree to any required changes in such methodology.  The JCC will also prospectively reassess the use of such methodology in the Other Included Countries and whether additional countries should be included as Other Included Countries.  If two or more distinct Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products are sold in the same country, the same Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology will be used for all such products unless otherwise determined by the JCC.  The methodology selected can be in the form of Net Sales or volume of units.

 

2.2  Residual Allocation Methodologies.  The JCC will also develop and approve methodologies to be utilized to allocate the sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products by indication in countries that are not Major Markets or Other Included Countries on a region-by-region basis (each, a “Residual Allocation Methodology”) no later than [***] prior to the anticipated First Prostate Use in each such country.  The Parties expect that Residual Allocation Methodologies will be used in countries in the following regions: [***].  There will be one Residual Allocation Methodology per region; provided,  however, that if either Party reasonably believes that within a region utilization of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products in any one country is significantly different from the other countries in the region such that applying the regional Residual Allocation Methodology would result in an inappropriate allocation methodology, the Parties shall discuss in good faith and attempt to agree on whether a country-specific allocation

methodology should be used in such country for a defined timeframe.  If two or more distinct Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products are sold in a region, the same Residual Allocation Methodology will be used for all such products in such region, unless otherwise determined by the JCC.  The Residual Allocation Methodologies selected can be in the form of Net Sales or volume of units.

 

2.3  Deadlocks.  If the JCC does not reach unanimous agreement to the Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology, a Residual Allocation Methodology, the list of Other Included Countries or any other JCC decision described in this Exhibit 8.3 as provided in Section 2.3(c), such matter will be deemed to be a Deadlocked Committee Matter as provided in Section 2.3(c).  If a Deadlocked Committee Matter relating to the Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology or a Residual Allocation Methodology for a country is not resolved prior to launch of a Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in such country, [***].   

 

3.Calculation of the Alliance Payments.  For each country in the Company Territory where a Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product is sold by TESARO (or any of its Affiliates, licensees (other than Company), sublicensees or Third Party distributors) during a TESARO Calendar Quarter, TESARO shall calculate the Alliance Payments within [***] after the end of such TESARO Calendar Quarter as follows.  For clarity, any reference in this Exhibit 8.3 to “Net Sales” shall mean Net Sales as defined in this Agreement, without regard to the definition of Net Sales or a similar term in any agreement between TESARO and a Third Party.

 

3.1  Determination of Prostate Attributable Net Sales

 

For each country that is a Major Market or an Other Included Country, the amount of Net Sales of such Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in a TESARO Calendar Quarter attributable to use in the Company Field shall be calculated as follows, on a country-by-country basis:

 

(a)        Utilizing the Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology, the Parties will calculate a “Prostate Sales Allocation Factor” for such country for such TESARO Calendar Quarter.  The Prostate Sales Allocation Factor is a percentage equal to [***]. The JCC shall determine whether to use Net Sales or volume of units to calculate the Prostate Sales Allocation Factor for a country, depending on which data sources will be used in such country.

(b)        The Prostate Sales Allocation Factor will then be multiplied by [***].

For each country that is neither a Major Market nor an Other Included Country, the amount of Net Sales of such Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in a TESARO Calendar Quarter attributable to use in the Company Field shall be calculated as follows, on a region-by-region basis:

 

(a)        Utilizing the Residual Allocation Methodology, the Parties will calculate a “Residual Prostate Sales Allocation Factor” for such region for such TESARO

Calendar Quarter.  The Residual Prostate Sales Allocation Factor is a percentage equal to [***].  The JCC shall determine whether to use Net Sales or volume of units to calculate the Prostate Sales Allocation Factor for a region, depending on which data sources will be used in such region.

(b)        The Residual Prostate Sales Allocation Factors will then be multiplied by [***].

3.2  Disproportionate Allocation of Rebates.  Upon the request of either Party, the JFC shall review and discuss whether rebates payable to federal, state/provincial, local or other governments, or their agencies, with respect to sales of a Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in a country should be allocated on a disproportionate basis between the Company Field and TESARO Field when calculating Net Sales of such Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in such country to reflect the actual payor mix of such Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product in such country.  

 

3.3  Adjustments to Prior Period Single Agent Prostate Net Sales

 

It is acknowledged by both Parties that [***].  For this reason, the mechanism described below allows for an adjustment in a subsequent TESARO Calendar Quarter.

 

Within [***] after the end of such TESARO Calendar Quarter and upon [***], TESARO shall determine whether any of the Prostate Sales Allocation Factors and Residual Prostate Sales Allocation Factors applied to the Net Sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products under Section 3.1 of this Exhibit 8.3 for a prior TESARO Calendar Quarter needs to be revised.  If a revision is required, TESARO will recalculate on a region-by-region or country-by-country basis, as applicable, the Net Sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products attributable to use in the Company Field under the applicable Major Market Net Sales Allocation Methodology or Residual Allocation Methodology.  The revised allocation of Net Sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products for such TESARO Calendar Quarter will be compared to the initial allocation of such Net Sales to determine the required adjustment.  After TESARO completes such recalculations, the JFC shall review and approve any proposed reallocations and adjustments before they become effective.  [***].  

 

3.4  Total Net Sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products

 

The total TESARO Net Sales of a Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product attributable to use in the Company Field in any country in the Company Territory during a given TESARO Calendar Quarter shall be the sum of: (a) the amount of TESARO Net Sales of such Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product attributable to use in the Company Field in such country (calculated as described above in Sections 3.1 of this Exhibit 8.3); and (b) any prior-quarter Net Sales adjustments with respect to such Single Agent Product that are required due to updated Prostate Sales Allocation Factors and Residual Prostate Sales Allocation Factors (as described above in Section 3.3 of this Exhibit 8.3)  (the “TESARO Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales).

3.5  Determination of Alliance Payments Due to Company

 

TESARO will deduct from the aggregate TESARO Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales in all countries in the Company Territory in a given TESARO Calendar Quarter (calculated as described above in Section 3.4 of this Exhibit 8.3) the following costs to calculate the Alliance Payment for such TESARO Calendar Quarter: [***]

 

For clarity, TESARO shall not deduct any milestone payments due to it as part of this calculation under this Section 3 of this Exhibit 8.3.  

 

If the balance of TESARO Net Sales of Prostate-Approved Single Agent Products attributable to use in the Company Field in a given TESARO Calendar Quarter less the deductions detailed above results in a deficit, such balance shall be reported to Company in the Alliance Payments report and TESARO shall invoice the Company due with terms consistent with Section 8.14 to the extent Company has not reimbursed TESARO for such amounts pursuant to another provision of this Agreement. 

 

4.Alliance Payments Report. TESARO shall deliver a written report (the “Alliance Payments Report”) to Company setting forth its calculations of the Alliance Payments, together with reasonable supporting documentation, within [***] after the end of each TESARO Calendar Quarter. Details to be included in this report shall be defined by the JFC, and will include a sufficient level of detail to provide Company with information to assess the Alliance Payments calculation.

 

5.Example Calculation.  An example of the calculations to be performed by TESARO under Section 3 of this Exhibit 8.3 is included below for illustrative purposes only:

Exhibit 8.4(b)(i)(1)

Pass-through Merck Royalty

 

1.Definitions.  For purposes of this Exhibit 8.4(b)(i)(1), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

Effective Merck Royalty Rate” means, with respect to a given Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product and a given TESARO Calendar Quarter, the amount equal to A/B expressed as a percentage, where:

 

A = the aggregate amount of royalties payable by TESARO to Merck pursuant to the Merck License Agreement (taking into account all applicable royalty reductions) with respect to  Combined Worldwide Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales for such Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product during such TESARO Calendar Quarter; and

 

B = the Combined Worldwide Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales for such Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product during such Calendar Quarter.

 

In the event that TESARO effects a reduction in, or elimination of, the applicable royalty rate(s) under the Merck License Agreement through a buy down or other negotiated agreement with Merck, then “A” shall be calculated by applying the Pass-through Merck Royalty Rates set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i)(1) and the royalty reductions set forth in this Exhibit 8.4(b)(i)(1) to the applicable  Combined Worldwide Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales.

 

Merck Compound Patent Rights” means those patents and patent applications that are listed on Attachment 1 to this Exhibit 8.4(b)(i)(1) and claim the composition of matter or use of a Compound, together with all (a) substitutions, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, continued prosecution applications, reissues, renewals, registrations, certificates of invention, confirmations, re-examinations, extensions, supplementary protection certificates or the like, or the provisional applications of any such patents and patent applications and (b) foreign equivalents of any of the above.

 

Merck First Commercial Sale” means, with respect to a country in the Company Territory, the first sale of commercial quantities of a Product in such country to a Third Party on arm’s length terms by a Party, its Affiliate or (sub)licensee for use in the Field after the receipt of Marketing Approval in such country. Sales for test marketing, sampling and promotional uses, Clinical Trial purposes or compassionate or similar use shall not be considered to constitute a Merck First Commercial Sale.

 

Merck Royalty Term” means, with respect to a Product and a given country, the period commencing upon the Merck First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country and continuing until the later of: (i) the expiration of the last to expire Merck Valid Claim of a Merck Compound Patent Right covering or claiming such Product (or the Compounds contained in, or

comprising, such Product); or (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of the Merck First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country (the “Merck Royalty Term”). 

 

Merck Valid Claim” means a claim of an issued and unexpired patent included within the Merck Compound Patent Rights, that has not been revoked or held unenforceable or invalid by a decision of a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, unappealable or unappealed within the time allowed for appeal, and that has not been disclaimed, denied or admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue or disclaimer.

 

2.Pass-through Merck Royalty Term.  The Pass-through Merck Royalty under Section 8.4(b)(i)(1) with respect to Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales or Company Combination Product Net Sales, as applicable, shall be payable on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis for so long as royalties are payable by TESARO to Merck under the Merck License Agreement with respect to the applicable Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product or Combination Product in such country; provided,  however, that if TESARO effects a reduction in, or elimination of, the applicable royalty rate(s) under the Merck License Agreement through a buy down or other negotiated agreement with Merck, then the Pass-through Merck Royalty shall be payable until the expiration of the Merck Royalty Term with respect to the applicable Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product or Combination Product in such country. 

 

3.Pass-through Merck Royalty Adjustments.  Notwithstanding Section 8.4(b)(i)(1), in the event that the sale of a Product in a country in the Company Territory during the applicable royalty term pursuant to Section 2 of this Exhibit 8.4(b)(i)(1) with respect to such Product and such country, would not infringe a Merck Valid Claim, then Pass-through Merck Royalty Rates set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i)(1) shall be reduced by [***] with respect to Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales or Combination Product Net Sales, as applicable, of such Product in such country. If a Product is covered by Merck Valid Claims of more than one Merck Compound Patent Right, the Pass-through Merck Royalty under Section 8.4(b)(i)(1) shall be payable only once.

 

4.[***].

 

5.Calculation of Royalty Tier for Pass-through Merck Royalty.  In the event that there are both Company Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales and TESARO Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales with respect to a Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product during a TESARO Calendar Quarter, then TESARO shall use the report delivered by Company pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(ii) to determine the Combined Worldwide Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales during such TESARO Calendar Quarter and the Pass-through Merck Royalty Rate(s) applicable to such Combined Worldwide Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales during such TESARO Calendar Quarter.  In the event that two (2) or more Pass-through Merck Royalty Rate(s) apply with respect to such Combined Worldwide Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales during such TESARO Calendar Quarter, TESARO shall calculate the Effective Merck Royalty Rate with respect to such Combined Worldwide Prostate-Approved Single Agent Product Net Sales.  TESARO shall
