OPTION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.5
OPTION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the Agreement) is made and is effective the 10th day of June, 1998 (the Effective Date) by and between:
Adolor Corporation, a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 371 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355 (ADOLOR)
and
Roberts Laboratories Inc., a New Jersey corporation, having its principal place of business at 4 Industrial Way West, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724 (ROBERTS).
RECITALS
1. ADOLOR is engaged in the development and marketing of therapeutic products utilizing opiate receptor-mediated pathways.
2. ROBERTS has acquired from Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly), in an agreement dated November 5, 1996 (the Lilly License), an exclusive, world-wide license to make, have made, use or sell (+)-[2(S)-[4(R)-(3-hydroxyphenyl)- 3(R),4-dimethyl-1-piperidinyl]methyl]-1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl]amino]-acetic acid and all pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof (the Compound), with the right to sublicense, which Lilly License and its Appendices A and B are appended hereto as Exhibit A.
3. An Investigational new Drug Application (IND), made to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was initiated for the Compound, but currently there is no activity pursuant to this Application.
4. As ADOLOR believes the Compound may provide the basis for a therapeutic product utilizing opiate receptor-mediated pathways, ADOLOR desires to obtain and ROBERTS desires to provide an exclusive, world-wide license including (a) a Phase A during which ADOLOR will seek to establish the therapeutic index of the Compound, and (b), provided the therapeutic index is satisfactory to ADOLOR at its sole discretion, a Phase B during which ADOLOR will pursue development and commercialization of the Compound.
5. Assuming ADOLOR proceeds to Phase B, ADOLOR further desires to seek to convert the license to an assignment of the Lilly License to ADOLOR subject to the same duties as between ADOLOR and ROBERTS as are set forth below, and ROBERTS desires to deliver such assignment to ADOLOR and to exert best efforts to obtain for ADOLOR the required permission from Lilly, though in the absence of such an assignment the license provided herein shall be maintained.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations hereinafter set forth the parties agree to be legally bound as follows:
ARTICLE I - DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1. Affiliate, Compound, End User, Lilly Intellectual Property Rights, Net Sales and Product shall have the meanings, respectively, set forth in the Lilly License.
Section 1.2. First Commercial Sale shall mean the first time sales are made of Product by ADOLOR to an unrelated third party on a country by country basis.
Section 1.3. Lilly Know-How shall have the meaning set forth for Know- How in the Lilly License.
Section 1.4. NDA shall mean an application filed with the FDA for the approval of the manufacturing, marketing or importation of a therapeutic product for use in humans. The references below to similar filing shall encompass, for example, Product License Applications (PLAs) and Pre-Marketing Applications (PMAs).
Section 1.5. Technical Information shall mean Technology which is owned, discovered or developed by or licensed to ROBERTS which is embodied or employed in the composition, manufacture or use of the Compound or Product, or components, reagents, parts or elements thereof. ADOLOR Technical Information shall mean Technology which is owned, discovered or developed by ADOLOR which is embodied or employed in the composition, manufacture or use of the Compound or Product, or components, reagents, parts or elements thereof.
Section 1.6. Technology shall mean know-how, protocols, processes, instruments, machines, materials,
compositions, tests procedures, manufacturing procedures, techniques, formulations, methodologies and data, inventions, observations and information, related to the Compound or the Product.
ARTICLE II - LICENSE
Pursuant to the Lilly Intellectual Property Rights or any ROBERTS Technical Information, ROBERTS grants ADOLOR an exclusive, world-wide license to make, have made, use, sell or import Product pursuant to the Lilly Intellectual Property Rights or any other ROBERTS Technical Information. The term of the license shall be either the term of Phase A or, if ADOLOR elects to proceed with Phase B, the sum of the terms of Phase A and Phase B.
The rights acquired hereunder shall include all rights licensed to ROBERTS pursuant to the Lilly License.
ARTICLE III - PHASE A
Section 3.1. - Phase A Consideration
In consideration for Phase A, ADOLOR shall deliver to ROBERTS a non-refundable payment of $300,000 on the Effective Date.
Section 3.2. - Phase A Term
The term of Phase A shall be from the Effective date until the earlier of (a) the date on which ADOLOR delivers to ROBERTS notice of ADOLORs completing studies sufficient to establish the therapeutic index of the Compound and of whether ADOLOR intends to initiate Phase B and (b) July 31, 1999. The parties acknowledge that there are areas of risk to ADOLORs ability to meet this timetable including:
· the risk that the pharmaceutical composition of the Compound or Product provided by ROBERTS be insufficient in quality or quantity to conduct the studies necessary to establish the therapeutic index; and
· the risk that the FDA will suspend or place on hold any activity pursuant to the IND for the Compound.
The parties further acknowledge that the above exemplified risks, should they become realities, would provide cause for the July 31, 1999 term expiration date to be extended. Should an event outside of ADOLORs control give rise to a reasonable basis to extend the July 31, 1999 term expiration date, meaning that it is reasonable to expect that ADOLOR acting with commercially reasonable diligence shall not have completed studies to establish the therapeutic index of the Compound by July 31, 1999, an extension of time will be provided to enable ADOLOR to complete the studies and the parties shall negotiate in good faith and arrive at a reasonable period of extension.
Section 3.3. - ADOLORs Phase A Duties
In addition to any other duties imposed by this Agreement, during the term of Phase A, ADOLOR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct studies, including Phase I clinical studies, to establish the therapeutic index of the Compound. All costs associated therewith shall be borne by ADOLOR. While the Phase A is in effect, ADOLOR agrees to undertake the obligations incumbent on ROBERTS under the Lilly License, with the exception of the milestone payments set forth in Section 3.01 of the Lilly License and the costs associated with prosecuting or maintaining patents under the Lilly Intellectual Property Rights, which shall continue to be borne by ROBERTS.
Section 3.4. - ROBERTS Phase A Duties
In addition to any other duties imposed by this Agreement, ROBERTS shall:
(a) provide ADOLOR its stocks of the Compound, in the amount ROBERTS possesses in whatever condition that such Compound may be as of the Effective Date; and
(b) during the term of Phase A, refrain from discussing, negotiating or agreeing to, with a third party, a license or assignment of rights in the Compound, or its use, manufacture, sale or import.
ARTICLE IV - PHASE B
Section 4.1. - Term and Contingency
The term of Phase B begins on the last day of Phase A through to the end of the term defined in Section 8.01
*Confidential Treatment Requested. Omitted portions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).

Subject to the foregoing, in consideration for Phase B, ADOLOR shall pay ROBERTS:
· $300,000 payable within five (5) business days of the expiration of Phase A;
· $500,000 payable within five (5) business days of the filing of a first application for a NDA or similar filing in the United States, Canada, Japan or the European Community that seeks permission to market a Product;
· $900,000 payable within five (5) business days of receiving notice of acceptance of a first NDA or similar filing in the United States, Canada, Japan or the European Community that seeks permission to market a Product; and
· a royalty equal to []*% of Net Sales.
ADOLOR shall pay Lilly, on behalf of ROBERTS, $500,000 upon acceptance of a first NDA or similar filing in the United States, Canada, Japan or the European Community that seeks permission to market a Product, in accordance with Section 3.01(v) the Lilly License. ADOLOR agrees to pay Lilly, on behalf of ROBERTS, a royalty equal to []*% of Net Sales in accordance with the Lilly License. For any payment made on behalf of ROBERTS, ADOLOR shall deliver proof of such payment to ROBERTS.
Section 4.3. - ADOLORs Phase B Duties
While Phase B is in effect, ADOLOR agrees to undertake the obligations incumbent on ROBERTS under the Lilly License and accruing during Phase B, with the exception of the execution milestone payment set forth in Section 3.01(a)(i) of the Lilly License. Except for costs associated with Roberts duties under this Agreement, all costs associated with developing and commercializing the Compound or Product shall be borne by ADOLOR.
ARTICLE V - SUBLICENSES OF THIS AGREEMENT
(a) ADOLOR shall have the right to grant sublicenses hereunder consistent with the terms of the Lilly License, provided, however, that should ADOLOR grant a sublicense hereunder within seventy-five (75) days of the Effective Date, ROBERTS shall receive 25% of any payments made to ADOLOR in consideration of such sublicense.
(b) Should ADOLOR decide to actively seek to sublicense marketing rights in the Compound or seriously consider a good faith offer by a third party to sublicense such marketing rights, ADOLOR shall notify ROBERTS of its intention to seriously seek to sublicense the marketing rights and shall provide ROBERTS with an opportunity to negotiate in good faith for a sublicense to the marketing rights. However, nothing herein shall imply that ROBERTS has a right of priority or preference in such negotiations, or imply any restraints whatsoever on ADOLORs business judgment as to partners in marketing the Compound.
ARTICLE VI - TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Section 6.1. - From ROBERTS to ADOLOR
Following execution and payment under Section 3.1 ROBERTS shall deliver to ADOLOR copies of the Lilly Know-how, ROBERTS Technical Information, and its inventory of Compound and intermediates for the production of Compound.

(b) Should ADOLOR fail to establish the therapeutic index and should ADOLOR not dispute that the term of Phase A, taking into consideration any extensions thereto under Section 3.2, has expired, then ADOLOR shall deliver to ROBERTS copies of ADOLOR data on the therapeutic index of the Compound and any
*Confidential Treatment Requested. Omitted portions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).

Article IV
Prosecution and Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights
Section 4.01. Patent Term Extensions and Supplementary Protection Certificates. Lilly upon request of Roberts shall apply for (and grant Roberts a license under) patent term extensions, Supplementary Protection Certificates or functional equivalents thereof, in any jurisdiction within the Territory where such items are permissible, for any Lilly Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Roberts hereunder. Roberts will provide Lilly with all material and information as may be necessary to obtain any of the aforesaid rights.
Section 4.02. Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents.
(a) Appendix B attached hereto identifies all pending applications and patents worldwide which are encompassed in the Lilly Intellectual Property Rights.
(b) Lilly shall prosecute any pending applications of which it is the owner that are encompassed in the Lilly Intellectual Property Rights and maintain any patents that have issued or will issue thereon in full force and effect for the term of such patent. Should, during the course of prosecution of any pending claims, an official action rejecting the claims require that an amendment be made or action be taken which would limit or substantially change the scope of any license hereunder, Lilly will timely inform Roberts
*Confidential Treatment Requested. Omitted portions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).
in writing. Lilly shall consult Roberts before responding to any such official action, and allow Roberts to assist in the prosecution of such claims or, at Lillys option, allow Roberts the opportunity at its time and expense to prosecute such claims to Roberts satisfaction.
Section 4.03. Costs of Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents. Lilly shall bear all costs incurred in filing, prosecuting and maintaining all patents and patent applications encompassed within the Intellectual Property Rights, provided, however, that Roberts shall pay one-half (1/2) of all reasonable external expenses incurred by Lilly while prosecuting and maintaining such patents and patent applications. External expenses will include patent office fees and taxes in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of any patent or patent application and the fees of any patent attorneys or agents, external of Lilly, in connection with the ex parte prosecution and maintenance thereof. The allocation of such expenses will occur on an annual basis at the end of the last quarter of each calendar year, at which time Lilly will provide Roberts with an itemized list of external expenses denominated in United States dollars incurred during the previous annual period. Roberts will then reimburse Lillys expenses within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of this itemized list. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly may, at its sole discretion, choose not to prosecute or cease to maintain a patent or patent application in any country as it so desires and to the extent that Lilly chooses not to prosecute or ceases to maintain such patent or patent application Lilly shall not be responsible for any patent costs associated with prosecuting and/or maintaining the patent or patent application in such country. If Roberts desires to prosecute or maintain such patent or patent application Roberts may do so at its own expense; however, under these circumstances, Lilly would grant Roberts all of its patent rights associated with such patent in such country. Similarly, upon written notice to Lilly, Roberts may elect not to share in the prosecution or maintenance costs as described in this Section 4.03 related to a patent or patent application in a particular country; however, upon such election any rights that Roberts has in such patent in such country would be granted to Lilly.
Section 4.04. Option by Roberts to Discontinue License. Roberts, at its option, may elect to discontinue the license granted and surrender all rights hereunder as to any patent on a country-by-country basis. Such election must be made by thirty (30) days written notice by simultaneous facsimile transmission and certified mailing, and, with respect to the surrender of Roberts rights, will be effective as of the date of mailing. In the event such an election is made, Lillys obligations under Sections 4.01 and 4.02 and Roberts obligations under Section 4.03 will terminate thirty (30) days from the date of mailing with respect to the specific patent on which the election is made.
Section 4.05. Infringement. Each party shall give prompt notice to the other of any infringement, potential infringement or suspected infringement of Lilly Intellectual Property Rights that may come to such partys attention. Promptly thereafter, the parties shall consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, the commencement of legal action by one or both parties, to cause such infringement, potential infringement or suspected infringement to be terminated. Each party, at its option, may elect to participate in or commence such a legal action. In the event of a joint action in which both parties agree to participate, the parties will share in the costs and the recovery of the agreed upon course of action in a manner to be agreed upon. Failing agreement on a
*Confidential Treatment Requested. Omitted portions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).
course of action to abate infringement, potential infringement or suspected infringement within sixty (60) days of the time such infringement, potential infringement or suspected infringement becomes known to both parties, either party shall have the right, at its own expense, to initiate and prosecute an action against the infringer and shall retain whatever damages are recovered. In the event Roberts is unable to initiate and prosecute such action solely in its own name, Lilly will execute (and cause its Affiliates to execute) all documents necessary for Roberts to initiate and prosecute such action. Neither party will enter into any settlement of any action referred to in this Section without the other partys prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 4.06. Reexamination and Reissue. Lilly shall defend in a reasonable manner any patent encompassed within the Lilly Intellectual Property Rights in any reexamination or reissue proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the applicable foreign equivalent. Before Lilly initiates a reissue proceeding, or before either party initiates a reexamination proceeding, the parties shall consult as to the desirability or necessity of such a proceeding. Such proceedings will not be abandoned prior to a final decision of the Patent Office Board of Appeals or Patent Office Board of Interferences and the applicable foreign equivalent without the consent of Roberts, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld taking into consideration, inter alia, the merits of the action of the Patent and Trademark Office and the applicable foreign equivalent, priority dates provable by any interference party (should an interference be involved), and the technological and commercial importance of the subject matter of the claims of the application or patent involved expenses shall be borne as provided in Section 4.03.
Article V
Disclosure of Agreement
Section 5.01. Disclosure of Agreement. Except as provided below, neither Roberts nor Lilly shall release any information to any third party with respect to the existence and terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement.
This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, press releases, educational and scientific conferences, promotional materials, governmental filings, and discussions with lenders, investment bankers, public officials, and the media.
Section 5.02. Releases Required bv Law. If either party determines a release of information is required by law or governmental regulation, it shall notify the other in writing at least ten (10) days (or such shorter period where legally required) before the time of the proposed release. The notice shall include the exact text of the proposed release, the time and manner of the release, and the basis for such partys belief that disclosure is required.
At the other partys request and before the release, the party desiring to release information shall consult with the other party on the necessity for the disclosure and the text of the proposed release. In no event shall a release include information regarding the existence or terms of this Agreement that is not required by law or governmental regulation without the consent of the other party.
Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, either party shall be permitted
*Confidential Treatment Requested. Omitted portions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).
and allowed to provide a copy of this Agreement or any terms hereof or otherwise provide any information with respect to the existence and terms of this Agreement to appropriate governmental taxing or drug regulatory authorities requested, without advance written notice or approval of the other party.
Article VI
Certain Undertakings
Section 6.01. Lilly Warranties. Lilly hereby warrants that it, to the best of its knowledge, is the sole owner of or is duly licensed under the Lilly Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Roberts hereunder and has a lawful right to grant the rights and licenses granted to Roberts hereunder.
Section 6.02. Roberts Efforts. Roberts hereby agrees to use its best efforts to develop and commercialize Products throughout the Territory. Roberts may abandon development efforts for the Compound at any time if in the reasonable judgment of Roberts further development efforts are not justified. If Roberts so abandons development, it shall upon request assign to Lilly or Lillys designee all intellectual property, records, data, clinical trial results and other information relating to the Compound in return for which Lilly or its designee shall pay to Roberts an amount equal to Roberts total development costs (including all out of pocket costs and reasonable internal costs). Roberts shall comply with all responsibilities for all adverse event reporting, annual reporting and any other reporting responsibilities to regulatory agencies in the Territory.
Section 6.03. Technical Assistance. For a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date hereof, Lilly will, through certain designated personnel, provide Roberts with such technical assistance, information and advice regarding the use of Lilly Intellectual Property Rights and the Know- How that may be reasonably necessary in connection with the manufacturing and testing of the Compound and Product. Lilly, at its expense, also agrees that such assistance may include one (1) visit to the Roberts facilities (not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours) located in New Jersey by at least one (1) qualified member of Lillys personnel to render on-site technical assistance. Except for the on-site visit described in this Section 6.03, all costs external to Lilly and associated with technical assistance shall be borne entirely by Roberts. Furthermore, Lilly shall not be required to engage extra personnel or to provide facilities in connection with providing technical assistance.
Article VII
Accounting
Section 7.01. Sales and Royalty Reports. Roberts shall deliver to Lilly within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter a written accounting of Roberts Net Sales and the royalty payment due to Lilly for such quarter. Such quarterly reports shall be in English and include the Net Sales of products on a country-by-country basis (expressed in United States dollars or computed under the provisions of Section 7.04 hereof), a sales forecast for each quarter of the current calendar year, and contain such other information as Lilly may from time to time reasonably request. Annually, by October 1, Roberts shall deliver to Lilly a sales forecast, by quarter, for the subsequent calendar year. All sales and
*Confidential Treatment Requested. Omitted portions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).
royalty reports shall be directed to Eli Lilly and Company, Attn: Royalty Administration, D.C. 2211, Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, Indiana 46285. In the event Roberts makes Sales of Product(s) to persons other than End Users, Roberts shall require such persons to provide Roberts with such information as Lilly may reasonably request to permit Lilly to calculate and verify Net Sales and Royalties due.
Section 7.02. Delivery of Royalty. When Roberts delivers the accounting to Lilly, Roberts shall also pay by wire transfer or other method acceptable to Lilly royalty payments due to Lilly for the preceding calendar quarter. Any payment not made when due shall bear interest at the United States prime rate on due date as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus six percent (6%).
Section 7.03. Audits. Roberts shall keep accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the amounts due to Lilly hereunder to be determined. During the term of this Agreement and for two (2) years after its termination, Lilly shall, not more than once each year and upon written notice, have the right, at its expense, to audit the books and records of Roberts for the purpose of determining the accuracy of royalty payments. If Roberts has underpaid a royalty amount due under this Agreement by more than five percent (5%), Roberts shall, in addition to paying any royalties due, also reimburse Lilly for the cost of such audit.
Section 7.04. Exchange Rates and Currency Translation. All payments to be made by Roberts to Lilly under this Agreement shall be made and reported in United States dollars. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of Net Sales and the United States dollars due Lilly shall be calculated using Roberts then current standard exchange rate methodology, which methodology is used by Roberts in the translation of its foreign currency operating results for external reporting, is consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles and generally reviewed and approved by Roberts independent certified public accountants.
Section 7.05. Withholding Taxes. Roberts shall have no liability for any income taxes levied against Lilly on account of royalties paid hereunder. If laws or regulations require that any such taxes be withheld by Roberts, Roberts shall deduct such taxes from the payment due Lilly, pay the taxes so withheld to the proper taxing authority, and send proof of payment to Lilly annually within ninety (90) days of the first day of the year following such payment. If Lilly desires to obtain a refund of any taxes so withheld and paid to a taxing authority, Roberts shall cooperate in the pursuit of such refund.
Article VIII
