During the process of establishing each Working Group, such Working Group and the Committee to which it reports shall agree regarding which matters such Working Group will resolve on its own and which matters such Working Group will advise the Committee regarding (and with respect to which such advice-specific matters the Committee will resolve); provided, that no Committee or any other Person designated with authority hereunder may delegate to a Working Group any decision-making authority over any matter that has been expressly allocated to a Committee or such Person in Section 2.9, and provided further, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Working Group is intended to function primarily in a supporting role providing advice to the Committee to which it reports, but that each Working Group will be best positioned to provide expedited guidance regarding certain operational matters as determined by and subject to the jurisdiction of the Committee to which such Working Group reports. Any dispute arising within a Working Group shall be referred to the Committee to which it reports for resolution.

2.6. Membership. Each Committee and Working Group shall be composed of an equal number of representatives appointed by each of Infinity and AbbVie. Each Committee and Working Group shall be initially comprised of no more than [**] representatives of each Party, or such other number as agreed upon by such Committee. Each individual appointed by a Party as a representative to a Committee or Working Group shall be an employee of such Party, or, other than a representative appointed to the JSC, a contractor to such Party or an employee or contractor of such Party’s Affiliate. Each Party shall appoint at least one representative to each Working Group and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to appoint the same number of representatives to any Working Group as are appointed by the other Party to such Working Group. Each Party may replace any of its Committee or Working Group representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party which notice may be given by e-mail, sent to the other Party’s co-chairperson of such Committee or Working Group and, with respect to a change of representatives to any Working Group, to the other Party’s co-chairperson of the Committee to which such Working Group reports and, with respect to a change of representatives to the Finance Working Group, to the other Party’s co-chairpersons of the JDC, JCC and JMAC. Each Committee and Working Group shall be co-chaired by one designated representative of each Party. The co-chairperson of each Committee and Working Group shall cast its Party’s vote (or the relevant co-chairperson or Party may designate another representative to cast such vote or, if only one representative of a Party is participating in the relevant meeting of the relevant Committee or Working Group, such representative shall be deemed so designated to cast such Party’s vote) on the respective Committee and Working Group and the co-chairperson or such designee shall have the authority to make decisions on behalf of such Party. The co-chairpersons shall be responsible for (a) calling meetings, (b) preparing and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting; provided, that the co-chairpersons shall include any agenda items proposed by either Party on such agenda, and (c) preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within [**] days (or such shorter time as is agreed by the relevant Committee or Working Group) thereafter. For clarity, each Party may designate the same individual as a representative on more than one Committee or Working Group. Each representative of a Party on a Committee or Working Group shall be subject to confidentiality obligations no less stringent than those in ARTICLE 9.

2.7. Meetings of the Committees and Working Groups. Each Committee and Working Group shall hold meetings at such times as such Committee or Working Group shall determine, but in no event shall such meetings of the JSC, JDC, JCC and JMAC be held less frequently than [**] during the Term for so long as each such Committee exists unless the applicable Committee otherwise agrees. A Party may also request that a special meeting of a Committee or Working Group be convened for the purpose of reviewing or making a decision pertaining to any matter within the purview of such Committee or Working Group by providing written notice to the other Party. Such special meeting shall be convened at such time as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, but in any event shall be held within [**] days after the date of such notice. Each Committee and Working Group may meet in person or by audio or video conference as its representatives may mutually agree; provided, that the JSC, JDC, JCC and JMAC shall meet in person at least [**] during the Term for so long as such Committee exists, unless the Parties agree otherwise. In-person meetings of a Committee or Working Group shall be held at a location selected by a Party, with the choice alternating between Infinity and AbbVie with respect to each Committee or Working Group. Other representatives of the Parties, their Affiliates and Third Parties involved in the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Products may be invited by the members of a Committee or Working Group to attend meetings of such Committee or Working Group as non-voting observers; provided, that, such representatives are subject to confidentiality obligations no less stringent than those in ARTICLE 9; provided further, that each representative appointed by a Party to take action at a meeting of a Committee or Working Group shall have sufficient authority to execute such action on behalf of such Party. Any Committee or Working Group may upon agreement meet on an ad hoc basis between regularly scheduled meetings in order to address and resolve time-sensitive issues within their purview that may arise from time to time. No action taken at a meeting of a Committee or Working Group shall be effective unless at least one representative of each Party is present or participating. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold attendance of at least one representative of such Party at any meeting of a Committee or Working Group for which reasonable advance notice was provided. For clarity, Working Groups shall make decisions only to the extent authorized to do so by the Committee to which such Working Group reports to the extent such authorization is within the scope of responsibilities of such Committee. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7 or in Sections 2.9, 14.4 or 14.5, any Committee can make a decision within its purview upon written agreement of the co-chairpersons of such Committee, which may include an e-mail chain in which each co-chairperson (or designee described in Section 2.6) agrees to the relevant decision and which e-mail chain includes a courtesy copy to the Alliance Managers and which e-mail chain shall be maintained with the minutes of such Committee.

Should the JSC not be able to reach agreement within [**] days after the JSC begins considering such matter at a duly called meeting of the JSC, either with respect to any matter referred to it by the JDC or JCC, or with respect to a matter initially arising within the JSC, either Party may refer the matter to the Executive Officers for resolution. The Executive Officers shall attempt to resolve the matter in good faith.

4.2. Medical Affairs Activities.

4.2.1. Responsibilities. The Parties shall collaborate to conduct Medical Affairs Activities in support of Products in the Field throughout the Territory pursuant to the Medical Affairs Plan under the direction of the JMAC.

4.2.2. Medical Affairs Plan. The Medical Affairs Activities in support of Products in the Territory shall be described in a reasonably comprehensive plan (the “Medical Affairs Plan”) that describes the Medical Affairs Activities throughout in the Territory, key tactics and strategies for implementing those activities, the relative responsibilities of the Parties and the associated budget for such activities (the “Medical Affairs Budget”). The JMAC shall prepare an initial Medical Affairs Plan (with input from the JDC and JCC) for review and approval by the JSC, no later than [**]. On an annual basis thereafter, the JMAC shall meet no later than [**] of each Calendar Year to update the Medical Affairs Plan and shall submit all such updates to the JSC for review and approval, such that JSC preliminary approval would occur no later than [**] of such Calendar Year. Upon the JSC’s preliminary approval, such updates shall be submitted to each Party for its internal budgeting process with a target for final approval by the JSC no later than [**] of such Calendar Year, at which time such Medical Affairs Plan shall be amended accordingly. The JMAC shall also reasonably consider for approval any proposed updates and amendments to the Medical Affairs Plan presented by either Party. The JSC shall review such proposed amendments presented by the JMAC and may approve such proposed amendments or any other proposed amendments that the JSC may consider from time to time and, upon such approval by the JSC, the Medical Affairs Plan shall be amended accordingly.

4.2.3. Investigator Sponsored Clinical Studies. The Medical Affairs Plan and Budget will include the strategy and allocated budget for Investigator Sponsored Clinical Studies that the JMAC determines to conduct. Additional funding for Investigator Sponsored Clinical Studies would require an amendment to the Medical Affairs Budget and require approval by the JMAC. In the event that the JMAC does not approve by consensus (notwithstanding Section 2.9.3) an Investigator Sponsored Clinical Study that has been proposed for inclusion in the Medical Affairs Plan and Medical Affairs Budget by either Party, then the Party proposing such study may conduct such study on its own, and the Party conducting such study shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the costs of such study, without reimbursement from the other Party under Sections 4.2.7 and 4.2.8, unless the other Party objects in writing to the proposing Party conducting such study within [**] Business Days of the JMAC’s failure to reach consensus which objection may be made by the other Party in its sole discretion. If one Party (the “Conducting Party”) does conduct such study at its sole expense, and if the results of such study are used in a Regulatory Approval Application that results in a Label Expansion or compendium expansion for the applicable Product, then the other Party (the “Reimbursing Party”) shall reimburse 100% of the Conducting Party’s Out-of-Pocket Costs and Development FTE Costs to conduct such study through quarterly payments, commencing in the Calendar Quarter in which such approval is received, [**] until such amounts are fully paid; provided that if such amounts are not fully repaid within [**] years after the first such payment, then the Reimbursing Party shall pay the Conducting Party all remaining amounts due for such study under this Section 4.2.3 at the conclusion of such [**] year. If Infinity is the Reimbursing Party, then such payments shall be made, with respect to Net Sales in the Ex-US Territory, through a deduction in royalties owed by AbbVie to Infinity with respect to the Ex-US Territory, and, if AbbVie is the Reimbursing Party, then such payments shall be made, with respect to Net Sales in the Ex-US Territory, through an increase in royalties owned by AbbVie to Infinity with respect to Net Sales in the Ex-US Territory. In the United States, Net

 

49


Profit and Net Loss for the Reimbursing Party shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such payment. In the event that[**], then following Regulatory Approval of the AbbVie Combination Compound, nothing in this Agreement would prohibit Infinity from conducting such study on its own outside of the scope of the GDP and this Agreement following Regulatory Approval of the AbbVie Combination Compound, without limiting the provisions governing the Licensed Compound herein (including the exclusivity covenants contained in Section 3.7), as provided in Section 4.1.6, and AbbVie shall not be obligated to reimburse Infinity with respect to such study as provided in this Section 4.2.3; provided, that prior to Commencing such study on its own, [**].

4.2.4. Medical Affairs Reports. At each meeting of the JMAC (or invited JDC or JCC agenda-driven meeting), each Party will report on the Medical Affairs Activities such Party and its Affiliates have performed with respect to Products in the Field since the last meeting of the JMAC, evaluate the work performed in relation to the goals of the Medical Affairs Plan and provide such other information as may be reasonably requested by the JSC with respect to such Medical Affairs Activities.

4.2.5. MSLs. Infinity and AbbVie will each have the right to provide MSLs to support Products in the Territory, on a Product-by-Product basis. Each Party shall have the right to provide up to fifty percent (50%) of the MSL FTEs with respect to each such Product in the Territory, as further specified in the Medical Affairs Plan. The JMAC shall create a MSL Deployment Plan for each of the United States and the Ex-US Territory as determined by the JMAC, and each MSL Deployment Plan will be included in the Medical Affairs Plan. Each MSL Deployment Plan will be consistent with the then-current Medical Affairs Plan. The JMAC shall review and oversee the Parties’ MSL activities in the Territory.

4.2.6. Medical Affairs Standards of Conduct. Each Party shall use Diligent Efforts to execute and to perform, or cause to be performed, the activities assigned to it in the Medical Affairs Plan, and to cooperate with the other Party in carrying out the Medical Affairs Plan, in accordance with the timetables therein. Each Party and its Affiliates shall conduct its Medical Affairs Activities in good scientific manner and in compliance with applicable Law and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Party or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to undertake or continue any Medical Affairs Activity if such Party (or any of its Affiliates) reasonably determines that performance of such activity would violate applicable Law or other obligation of such Party to a Governmental Authority.

4.2.7. Medical Affairs Costs. Each Party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all Out-of-Pocket Costs and all Medical Affairs FTE Costs incurred by the Parties to conduct Medical Affairs Activities in accordance with the Medical Affairs Plan and the Medical Affairs Budget (the “Medical Affairs Costs”). Medical Affairs Costs shall initially be borne by the Party incurring the cost or expense, and thereafter shall be subject to reimbursement as provided in this Section 4.2.7. Each Party shall report to the JMAC, within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, an estimate of the Medical Affairs Costs incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter, with a final report submitted to the JMAC for such costs within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter. Such report shall specify in reasonable detail all amounts incurred during such Calendar Quarter (broken down by activity).

 

50


4.2.8. Reimbursement of Medical Affairs Costs. Following receipt of each Party’s report of its Medical Affairs Costs, the JMAC will determine the payment necessary from one Party to the other, and the Party that has paid less than its share of Medical Affairs Costs during such Calendar Quarter shall make a reconciling payment to the other Party within [**] days after receipt of an invoice from the JMAC to achieve the appropriate allocation of Medical Affairs Costs provided in Medical Affairs Plan and Medical Affairs Budget in accordance with reconciliation procedures to be established by the JMAC (the “Medical Affairs Reconciliation Procedures”). The Medical Affairs Reconciliation Procedures will provide the ability to comply with financial reporting requirements of each Party under applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Medical Affairs Costs in excess of the amounts allocated for the activities of a Party in the applicable Calendar Year in the Medical Affairs Budget shall be borne solely by the Party that incurs such excess costs; provided, however, that Medical Affairs Costs in excess of the budgeted amount shall be included in the calculation of Medical Affairs Costs, (a) to the extent such excess costs do not exceed by more than [**] percent ([**]%) the total Medical Affairs Costs allocated to be incurred by such Party and its Affiliates in the applicable Calendar Year in accordance with the applicable Medical Affairs Budget for such Calendar Year, or (b) if the JMAC approves such excess (either before or after they are incurred), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent that such costs in excess of the Medical Affairs Budget were not within the reasonable control of the Party (or Affiliate) incurring such expense. If either Party desires to conduct additional Medical Affairs Activities under the Medical Affairs Budget, it shall discuss the matter at the JMAC. If either Party does not reasonably object to the conduct of such activities but the JMAC is not willing to agree upon an updated Medical Affairs Budget to reflect additional funds to conduct such activities, the requesting Party shall be free to conduct such Medical Affairs Activities and incur additional Medical Affairs Costs in connection therewith; provided, however, that unless such excess costs are required to be reimbursed under Section 4.2.3, such costs shall be the incurring Party’s sole expense.

4.3. Development Efforts; Manner of Performance; Reports.

4.3.1. Development Efforts. Each Party shall use Diligent Efforts to execute and to perform, or cause to be performed, the activities assigned to it in the GDP, and to cooperate with the other Party in carrying out the GDP, in accordance with the timetables therein. Each Party and its Affiliates shall conduct its Development activities in good scientific manner and in compliance with applicable Law and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Party or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to undertake or continue any Development activities with respect to the Licensed Compounds or Products if such Party (or any of its Affiliates) reasonably determines that performance of such Development activity would violate applicable Law or infringe or misappropriate Third Party intellectual property.

4.3.2. Day-to-Day Responsibility. Each Party shall be responsible for day-to-day implementation of the Development activities for which it (or any of its Affiliates) is assigned responsibility under this Agreement or the GDP and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed as to the progress of such activities. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

 

51


(a) The Party who is the regulatory sponsor of any Clinical Study of a Licensed Compound or Product or the Party conducting such Clinical Study may terminate or suspend such Clinical Study, without the approval or consent of a Committee or the other Party, if (A) a Regulatory Authority, institutional review board or safety data review board for such Clinical Study has required or recommended such termination or suspension or (B) such Party believes in good faith that such termination or suspension is warranted because of observed safety risks to the study subjects or patients. In either case, the Party making the decision shall promptly notify the other Party of such termination or suspension, and shall use Diligent Efforts to notify and consult with such other Party prior to taking such action; and

(b) If the Party who is not conducting and who is not the regulatory sponsor of any Clinical Study of a Licensed Compound or Product (the “Non-Sponsor) believes in good faith that termination or suspension of such Clinical Study is warranted because of safety risks to the study subjects or patients, then the Non-Sponsor shall so notify the other Party (the “Sponsor”), and the JDC shall discuss the Non-Sponsor’s concerns in good faith to determine whether to terminate, suspend, modify or continue such Clinical Study. If the JDC and, if applicable following escalation, JSC and Executive Officers are unable to reach agreement with respect to whether to terminate, suspend, modify or continue such Clinical Study, and the Sponsor wants to continue such Clinical Study, the Sponsor shall have the right to do so, provided that the Sponsor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Non-Sponsor from and against any Losses to the extent resulting from any Product Liability Action alleged to be caused by the safety risks raised by the Non-Sponsor and in fact occurring during the conduct of such Clinical Study from and after the date that the Non-Sponsor first notified the Sponsor in accordance with this Section 4.3.2(b) of such safety risks and proposed terminating or suspending such Clinical Study.

4.3.3. Development Reports. At each meeting of the JDC, each Party will report on the Development activities (including Clinical Studies and regulatory activities) such Party and its Affiliates have performed or caused to be performed with respect to Licensed Compounds and Products in the Field since the last meeting of the JDC and the clinical and other results arising from such activities with at least the level of information described in the following sentence, evaluate the work performed in relation to the goals of the GDP and provide such other information as may be reasonably requested by the JDC with respect to such Development activities. If a Party fails to adequately provide such report at a meeting of the JDC, the other Party may request, and such Party will provide to such other Party, a written progress report that includes information regarding subject or patient enrollment, site initiation, progress on protocol writing, meeting requests and briefing documents, in the case of clinical or regulatory activities, and in other cases such information as is reasonably necessary to convey a reasonably comprehensive understanding of the status of the applicable Development activity or, with respect to any such request by Infinity, to comply with its reporting obligations under the Infinity Third Party Agreements.

4.3.4. Notice of Investigation or Inquiry. If any Regulatory Authority (a) contacts a Party or its Affiliate with respect to the alleged improper Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Compound or Product in the Territory, (b) conducts, or gives notice of its intent to conduct, an inspection at a Party’s or its Affiliate’s facilities used in the Development or Manufacturing of Licensed Compound or Products, or (c) takes, or gives notice of its intent to take, any other regulatory action with respect to any activity of a Party or its Affiliate that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any Development, Manufacture or Commercialization activities with respect to a Licensed Compound or Product in the Territory, then such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such contact, inspection or notice.

4.4.4. Rights of Reference and Access to Data. Each Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to cross-reference the other Party’s or its Affiliate’s drug master file (“DMF”), if any, and any other Regulatory Filings or information supporting Pricing and Reimbursement Approval anywhere in the world, in each case, to the extent such files, filings and support relate to Licensed Compounds or Products in the Field, and to access such Regulatory Filings and any Data and other Know-How therein and use such Data and Know-How in connection with the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this Agreement, including inclusion of such Data and other Know-How in its own Regulatory Filings and filings for Pricing and Reimbursement Approvals for Products in accordance with this Agreement. Each Party hereby grants to the other Party a “Right of Reference,” as that term is defined in 21 C.F.R. §314.3(b) in the United States, or an equivalent exclusive right of access/reference in any other country or region of the Territory, to any Data included in a Regulatory Filing or filing for Pricing and Reimbursement Approval for a Product for use by the other Party to Develop and Commercialize the Products in the Field pursuant to this Agreement.

4.6. Costs of Joint Development.

4.6.1. Cost. Development Costs incurred after the Execution Date by a Party in accordance with the GDP and Development Budget shall be borne by Infinity; provided, however, that (a) if the aggregate Development Costs incurred by the Parties, excluding any Combination Study Costs, exceed the Development Threshold, then any Development Costs in excess of the Development Threshold shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by AbbVie and fifty percent (50%) by Infinity (the “Shared Overage Costs”), (b) any Development Costs incurred by the Parties in connection with a Combination Clinical Study (the “Combination Study Costs,” and together with the Shared Overage Costs, the “Shared Development Costs”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by AbbVie and fifty percent (50%) by Infinity and (c) [**]. In addition, except as provided in Section 4.1.6(d), Product supply and combination and comparator drug costs incurred by a Party prior to the Execution Date for Clinical Trials included in the initial GDP and contemplated by the initial Development Budget as described in Schedule 4.6.1 will be included as Development Costs hereunder. For the avoidance of double-counting, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Development Costs shall not be included in Allowable Expenses for purposes of calculating Net Profit or Loss in accordance with the Financial Exhibit (and, likewise, that any amounts included in Allowable Expenses shall not be included in Development Costs).

4.6.2. Development Costs Reports. Development Costs shall initially be borne by the Party incurring the cost or expense, and thereafter shall be subject to reimbursement as provided in Section 4.6.3. Each Party shall report to the JDC within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, the estimated Development Costs incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter, with a final report submitted to the JDC within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter. Such report shall specify, in reasonable detail, all amounts included in such Development Costs incurred during such Calendar Quarter (broken down by activity). Within [**] days of receipt of each Party’s report, the JDC shall seek to resolve any questions related to such accounting statements, and shall have the right to request reasonable additional information related to a Party’s and its Affiliates’ Development Costs during such Calendar Quarter in order to confirm that such Party’s spending is in conformance with the approved Development Budget in accordance with the reconciliation procedures to be established by the JDC (the “Development Reconciliation Procedures”). The Development Reconciliation Procedures shall provide for the JDC to develop a written summary report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any net amount owed by Infinity to AbbVie or by AbbVie to Infinity, as the case may be, as necessary to accomplish the sharing of Development Costs set forth in Section 4.6.1 and Section 4.6.3, and to prepare such report promptly following the procedures described in this Section 4.6.2 and in a reasonable time in advance of payment.

4.6.3. Reimbursement of Development Costs.

(a) Following completion of the Development Reconciliation Procedures for each Calendar Quarter, the Party conducting a Combination Clinical Study shall invoice the other Party for its share of Combination Study Costs incurred in the preceding Calendar Quarter, and the other Party shall pay each such invoice within [**] days after receipt

 

55


thereof; provided, however, that the other Party shall only be obligated to reimburse the conducting Party for Combination Study Costs in excess of the Development Budget (x) to the extent such excess Combination Study Costs do not exceed by more than [**] percent ([**]%) of the total Combination Study Costs in the Development Budget for such Calendar Year; provided, that, for purposes of determining whether such excess Combination Study Costs exceed the total Combination Study Costs in the Development Budget for such Calendar Year by more than [**] percent ([**]%) (i) amounts included in the Development Budget for Combination Study Costs that are not used in a given Calendar Year shall be carried into subsequent Calendar Years, and (ii) if any Combination Clinical Study commences earlier or enrolls faster than anticipated in the GDP, the associated Combination Clinical Study Costs will be added to the Development Budget for the Calendar Year in which such costs are incurred, (y) if the JDC approves such excess Combination Study Costs (either before or after they are incurred), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent the Combination Study Costs in excess of the Development Budget were not within the reasonable control of the conducting Party, or (z) pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1.1. In the event of any dispute regarding the reconciliation payments due from one Party to the other, the Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute as expeditiously as possible, but the foregoing shall not prevent either Party from pursuing resolution of such dispute through the JDC and, failing agreement at the JDC, escalation to the JSC in accordance with Section 2.9.1. If the JSC is unable to resolve such dispute, then either Party shall have the right to refer such matter for resolution to Arbitration in accordance with ARTICLE 13.

(b) (i) before the Development Threshold has been reached, Infinity shall pay AbbVie an amount of cash sufficient to reimburse AbbVie for any previously agreed-upon (if not explicitly allocated to AbbVie in the GDP) Infinity-Borne Development Costs incurred by AbbVie in each Calendar Quarter and (ii) after the Development Threshold has been reached, the Party (with its Affiliates) that incurs more than its share of the total actual Shared Development Costs shall be paid by the other Party an amount of cash sufficient to reconcile to fifty percent (50%) of actual Shared Development Costs in each Calendar Quarter, in each case within [**] days after receipt of invoice; provided, that the Parties shall also undertake an annual true-up within [**] days after the fourth Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a Calendar Year basis, any Shared Development Costs or Infinity-Borne Development Costs in excess of the amounts allocated to such Party for such Calendar Year in the Development Budget shall be borne solely by the Party that incurs such excess Development Costs; provided, however, that Development Costs in excess of the Development Budget shall be included in the calculation of Infinity-Borne Development Costs or Shared Development Costs, as applicable, (x) to the extent such excess Development Costs incurred by a Party do not exceed by more than [**] percent ([**]%) the total Infinity-Borne Development Costs or Shared Development Costs, as applicable, on a Party-by-Party basis, allocated to be incurred by such Party and its Affiliates in the applicable Calendar Year in accordance with the applicable Development Budget for such Calendar Year; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining whether such excess Development Costs exceed the total Infinity-Borne Development Costs or Shared Development Costs, as applicable, for such Calendar Year by more than [**] percent ([**]%), (i) that amounts included in the Development Budget for Infinity-Borne Development Costs or Shared Development Costs, as applicable, that are not used in a given Calendar Year shall be carried into subsequent Calendar Years for purposes of determining whether such threshold has been exceeded, and (ii) if any Clinical Study in the GDP other than a Combination Clinical Study commences earlier or enrolls faster than anticipated in the

 

56


GDP, the associated Development Costs will be added to the Development Budget for the Calendar Year in which such costs are incurred, (y) if the JDC approves such excess Development Costs (either before or after they are incurred), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent the Development Costs in excess of the Development Budget were not within the reasonable control of the Party (or Affiliate) incurring such expense, or (z) pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Infinity-Borne Development Costs will be counted toward the Development Threshold.

4.7. Development Records. Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records (in the form of technical notebooks or electronic files where appropriate) of all work conducted by it under the GDP and all information resulting from such work. Such records, including any electronic files where such information may also be contained, shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of the GDP in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes. Such records shall be maintained in appropriate conditions to ensure their accessibility and protection until the date that is [**] years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety (unless applicable Law requires longer retention of any given record, in which case such record(s) shall be retained for so long as required by applicable Law).

In addition, AbbVie may prepare country-specific commercialization plans for countries in the Ex-US Territory as it deems appropriate, and shall make such plans available to Infinity. The initial Commercialization Plans for the US and Ex-US Territory shall be prepared by the applicable Party, reviewed by the JCC and approved by the JSC in accordance with this Section 5.3.1 no later than [**]. The Parties shall jointly prepare the initial draft US Commercialization Plan, and shall thereafter alternate responsibility for preparing each draft or annual update to the US Commercialization Plan (starting with Infinity). AbbVie shall prepare the Ex-US Commercialization Plan and each country-specific commercialization plan for the Ex-US Territory, which shall be consistent with the Global Branding Strategy and include an annual forecast of Gross and Net Sales in the Ex-US Territory. Commercialization Plans developed by either Party shall be reviewed by the JCC and presented to the JSC for review and approval; provided, that the country-specific commercialization plans will be shared with the JCC shall not be subject to such JSC approval. The responsible Party shall update each Commercialization Plan annually as provided in Section 5.3.3. The activities set forth in each Commercialization Plan shall at all times be designed to be in compliance with all applicable Laws and to be conducted in accordance with professional and ethical standards customary in the pharmaceutical industry.

Upon the JSC’s preliminary approval, such updates shall be submitted to each Party for its internal budgeting process with a target for final approval by the JSC no later than [**] of such Calendar Year, at which time such Commercialization Plan shall be amended accordingly. The JCC shall also reasonably consider for approval any proposed updates and amendments to a Commercialization Plan presented by either Party. The JSC shall review such proposed amendments presented the JCC and may approve such proposed amendments or any other proposed amendments that the JSC may consider from time to time in its discretion and, upon such approval by the JSC, the Commercialization Plan shall be amended accordingly.

Following receipt of such report, each Party shall reasonably cooperate to provide additional information as necessary to permit calculation and reconciliation of Net Profit or Loss in the United States for the applicable Calendar Quarter by the JCC, and to confirm that, to the extent applicable, the Allowable Expenses are in conformance with the US Commercialization Budget. If reasonably requested by the JCC, supporting documentation shall be promptly provided.

(b) The Profit Reconciliation Procedures shall require the JCC with input and support from the Finance Working Group to develop a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of Net Profit or Loss in the United States for the applicable Calendar Quarter, amounts owed by one Party to the other as necessary to accomplish the sharing of Net Profit or Loss in the United States for the applicable Calendar Quarter in accordance with Section 7.2.1, and to prepare such report promptly following delivery of the reports from the Parties as described above in this Section 7.2.2 and in a reasonable time in advance of applicable payments. Payments to reconcile Net Profit or Loss in the United States shall be paid within [**] days of receipt of such Report by a Party.

(c) Each Party shall (i) keep the other informed as to Gross Sales and Net Sales on a regular, ongoing basis, with respect to Gross Sales and Net Sales levels in the United States, as applicable to such Party, (ii) provide for quarterly reporting of Gross Sales and Net Sales totals in the United States for the applicable Calendar Quarter and (iii) keep the other informed as to forecast Net Profit or Loss in the United States in accordance with the next sentence of this Section 7.2.2(c). Together with such quarterly reporting of Gross Sales and Net Sales, each Party will provide an updated forecast of Net Profit or Loss in the United States for the current Calendar Quarter that such Party may then have available, which forecasts shall be prepared in accordance with such Party’s internal policies and procedures.

7.3. Royalties.

7.3.1. Royalty Rates. As further consideration for the rights granted to AbbVie under this Agreement, on a country-by-country basis, during the applicable Royalty Term, AbbVie shall pay to Infinity non-refundable, non-creditable royalties on Net Sales of Products in the Ex-US

 

65


Territory, as calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rates below by the corresponding amount of incremental Net Sales in the Ex-US Territory of all Products in each Calendar Year:

 

Annual Net Sales of Products in the Ex-US Territory    Royalty Rate

For that portion of aggregate annual Net Sales less than US$[**]

   23.5%

For that portion of aggregate annual Net Sales greater than or equal to US$[**] and less than US$[**]

   [**]%

For that portion of aggregate annual Net Sales greater than or equal to US$[**] and less than US$[**]

   [**]%

For that portion of aggregate annual Net Sales greater than or equal to US$[**]

   30.5%

7.3.2. Royalty Term. Royalties shall be due under this Section 7.3 with respect to a Product and country in the Ex-US Territory during the period commencing on the First Sale of such Product and ending on the date on which AbbVie ceases selling such Product in such country (such period, the “Royalty Term”).

7.3.3. Royalty Reduction.

(a) In any country in the Ex-US Territory where all Valid Claims of the Infinity Patent Rights, AbbVie Patent Rights and [**] have ceased to exist that Cover the use, formulation, preparation or manufacture of a particular Product during the Royalty Term for such Product in such country, AbbVie shall owe royalties under this Section 7.3 on Net Sales of such Product in such country at rates that are [**] percent ([**]%) of the rates otherwise payable under Section 7.3.1. If in a particular Calendar Quarter there are Net Sales of a particular Product in one or more countries in the Ex-US Territory in which there is at least one such Valid Claim and there are also Net Sales of such Product in one or more countries in the Ex-US Territory in which there is no such Valid Claim, then the royalties shall be calculated by determining the percentage of Net Sales in the Ex-US Territory in such Calendar Quarter that are in each such type of country and applying that percentage to each royalty tier to determine which portion of the applicable amount should bear royalties at rates set forth in Section 7.3.1 and which should bear royalties at rates set forth in this Section 7.3.3(a).

(b) In the event of Generic Entry in any country in the Ex-US Territory, if the Net Sales in such country of such Product in any Calendar Quarter following the Calendar Quarter in which such Generic Entry occurred are [**], then AbbVie shall owe royalties under this Section 7.3 on Net Sales of such Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter at rates that are [**] percent ([**]%) of the rates otherwise payable under Section 7.3.1. If in a particular Calendar Quarter there are Net Sales of a particular Product in one or more countries in the Ex-US Territory in which there has been a Generic Entry and there are also Net Sales of such Product in one or more countries in the Ex-US Territory in which there has not been a Generic Entry, then the royalties shall be calculated by determining the percentage of Net Sales in the Ex-US Territory in such Calendar Quarter that are in each such type of country and applying that percentage to each royalty tier to determine which portion of the applicable amount should bear royalties at rates set forth in Section 7.3.1 and which should bear royalties at rates set forth in this Section 7.3.3(b). For clarity, the royalty reduction in this Section 7.3.3(b) will no longer apply in any country where a Generic Product is no longer sold in such country.

 

66


(c) If, during the Royalty Term, Infinity’s royalty obligations under the MICL Agreement and Purdue Agreement terminate or are reduced, then Infinity shall promptly so notify AbbVie and, with respect to Net Sales occurring after the date of such reduction or termination, each of the royalty rates set forth in Section 7.3.1 shall be reduced on a point-for-point basis by the amount of reduction or termination of the royalty obligations under the MICL Agreement and Purdue Agreement. Within [**] days of the conclusion of each Calendar Year, Infinity shall provide AbbVie with a reasonably detailed report showing all Infinity Third Party Agreement Payments for the preceding Calendar Year.

(d) AbbVie shall be entitled to deduct from the royalties payable to Infinity under this Section 7.3 [**] percent ([**]%) of any Blocking Third Party Intellectual Property Costs paid by AbbVie and [**]; provided, however, that in no event shall the royalties that would otherwise be payable to Infinity, as reduced by Sections 7.3.3(a), 7.3.3(b) and 7.3.3(c) be reduced by more than [**] percent ([**]%) in any given Calendar Quarter as a result of any deduction under this Section 7.3.3(d); and provided further, that AbbVie shall be entitled to carry forward to subsequent Calendar Quarters any amounts with respect to which AbbVie would have been entitled to make a deduction pursuant to this Section 7.3.3(d) but is unable to take such deduction pursuant to the first proviso in this Section.

(e) For clarity, reductions shall first be applied under Section 7.3.3(c), and following any such reductions, further reductions may be applied, as applicable, under Sections 7.3.3(a) or 7.3.3(b) and Section 7.3.3(d), provided, that reductions may be taken under either Section 7.3.3(a) or 7.3.3(b) (or neither), but not both, and, provided further that in no event will the cumulative effect of Section 7.3.3(a), (b) and (d) reduce the royalties that would otherwise be payable to Infinity under Section 7.3.1 by more than [**] percent ([**]%) from the rate in effect following the reduction, if any, under Section 7.3.3(c).

(f) In addition to any other deductions permitted under this Section 7.3.3, the royalties due under this Section 7.3 shall be net of any amounts to be deducted and recouped as provided in Sections 3.5.1(e), 10.6.5(c) and Section 12.2.1(b).

7.3.4. Royalty Payments and Reports. Within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, AbbVie shall provide to Infinity a statement of the estimated amount of Gross Sales and Net Sales (and the calculations thereof) of Products in each country of the Ex-US Territory during such Calendar Quarter (including such amounts expressed in local currency and as converted to Dollars), identifying the date of First Sale in the relevant country. Within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, AbbVie shall provide a final statement of such Gross Sales and Net Sales, (and the calculations thereof) of Products in each country of the Ex-US Territory during such Calendar Quarter (including such amounts expressed in local currency and as converted to Dollars) an including a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter and any deductions with respect thereto. AbbVie shall pay to Infinity the royalty amounts due under this Section 7.3 with respect to each Calendar Quarter within [**] days after the end of such Calendar Quarter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, AbbVie shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to account for its Gross Sales and Net Sales and

 

67


to provide such reports with respect thereto as if such sales were made by AbbVie. At Infinity’s reasonable request, AbbVie shall use good faith efforts to provide Infinity with additional information necessary for Infinity to comply with its royalty reporting obligations under any Infinity Third Party Agreements.

7.4. Reconciliation of Costs Incurred in or for the Ex-US Territory.

7.4.1. Costs Borne Solely by AbbVie. On a Calendar Quarterly basis, Infinity shall determine all amounts payable by AbbVie to Infinity to reimburse the applicable portion of costs incurred by Infinity in such Calendar Quarter under Sections 3.5.1(d) and 3.5.2 (Infinity Third Party Agreement Payments) in connection with the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Products in the Ex-US Territory in accordance with the GDP or the Ex-US Commercialization Plans and the terms of this Agreement (such amounts, the “Reimbursable Amounts”).

Recoveries under Sections 8.3.7 and 8.7.5 for the Ex-US Territory [**]. Within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, [**] shall submit to the JCC an estimated report, in such reasonable detail and format as is established by the JCC with input and support from the Finance Working Group, of all [**] incurred or accrued during such Calendar Quarter, with a final report submitted to the JCC within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter. Following receipt of such report, the Finance Working Group shall determine [**]. The reconciliation for the fourth Calendar Quarter in any Calendar Year shall include [**]. Within [**] days after the Finance Working Group’s determination, the applicable Party shall pay the other Party the amount due.

7.5. Financial Audits.

Each Party and its Affiliates shall keep complete and accurate records in accordance with its Accounting Standards of the items underlying the Milestone Payments, Development Costs, Allowable Expenses, Gross Sales, Net Sales, Net Profit or Loss, Reimbursable Amounts, [**], Infinity Third Party Agreement Payments, and the other elements thereof required to prepare the reports or calculate payments required under this Agreement and the Reconciliation Procedures, and any other payments under this Agreement. Each Party will have the right annually at its own expense to have an independent, certified public accountant, selected by such Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, review any such records of the other Party and its Affiliates in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the other Party or its Affiliates upon reasonable prior written notice, during regular business hours and under obligations of confidentiality, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under this Agreement and the Reconciliation Procedures, and any other payments due under this Agreement, within the prior [**] Calendar Year period. The records for any Calendar Year may be audited no more than once.

 

68


7.5.2. Upon the expiration of [**] years following the end of any Calendar Year, the calculation of amounts payable with respect to such Calendar Year shall be binding and conclusive upon Infinity and AbbVie, and the Parties shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to payments for such Calendar Year.

7.5.3. The report prepared by the independent certified public accounting firm, a copy of which shall be sent or otherwise provided to each Party by such independent public accountant at the same time, shall contain the conclusions of such accounting firm regarding the audit and will specify that the amounts paid pursuant thereto were correct or, if incorrect, the amount of any underpayment or overpayment, and the specific details regarding any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to the auditing Party without the prior consent of the audited Party unless disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order, and if so determined by the auditing Party, it shall, if permitted, give the audited Party prior notice thereof reasonably sufficient for the audited Party to seek a protective order against or limiting such disclosure. If such report shows any underpayment, the Party owing a payment (“Owing Party”) shall remit to the Party that is owed (“Owed Party”), within [**] days after receipt of such report, (a) the amount of such underpayment, together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 7.9, and (b) if such underpayment exceeds [**] percent ([**]%) of the total amount owed for the period then being audited, the reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in conducting such review. Any overpayments shall be refunded to the Owed Party by the Owing Party within [**] days of receipt of the audit report. The Parties mutually agree that all information subject to review under this Section is Confidential Information of the audited Party (subject to Sections 1.122(a)-(d)) and that the Party receiving such information shall retain and cause the accountant to retain all such information in confidence in accordance with ARTICLE 9.

7.6. Tax Matters.

7.6.2. A Party shall withhold and deduct from all payments made (or to be made) pursuant to this Agreement by such Party (the “Withholding Party”), any tax required to be withheld and deducted from such payments under applicable Law and in accordance with this Section 7.6. Any amounts so withheld and deducted shall be remitted by the Withholding Party on a timely basis to the appropriate Governmental Authority for the account of the other Party and the Withholding Party will provide the other Party reasonable evidence of the remittance within [**] days thereof. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Withholding Party and duly paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the other Party, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Each Party shall furnish to the Withholding Party such forms, certificates and documentation as may be necessary or appropriate, and that are legally required, to obtain any reduction of, credit for, or exemption from the withholding of any tax.

7.6.3. If AbbVie (or AbbVie’s Affiliates or successors) is required to make a milestone payment attributable to an Enrollment Event or a Milestone Event that occurred in an Ex-US Territory, or that is treated by the appropriate Governmental Authority as occurring in an Ex-US Territory, or a royalty payment that is based on Net Sales of Products in an Ex-US Territory, and Withholding Tax is deducted from such payment when made to Infinity as a result of an AbbVie Withholding Tax Action, then notwithstanding Section 7.6.2:

 

69


(a) if such Withholding Tax is the result of a Required Withholding Tax Action, then AbbVie (or AbbVie’s Affiliates, or successors) shall make a payment to Infinity equal to fifty percent (50%) of the excess of the Required Incremental Withholding Tax over the Required Withholding Tax Benefit, if any, for the taxable year to which the Required Incremental Withholding Tax relates; and

(b) if such Withholding Tax is the result of an AbbVie Withholding Tax Action that is not a Required Withholding Tax Action, then AbbVie (or AbbVie’s Affiliates or successors) shall make a payment to Infinity equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the excess of the Incremental Withholding Tax over the Withholding Tax Benefit, if any, for the taxable year to which the Incremental Withholding Tax relates.

Infinity shall compute the payments due under clause (a) and (b) for each year during the Term no later than [**] days after filing its U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. Any such payment referenced in clause (a) or (b) shall be made to Infinity within [**] days of the date on which Infinity provides (i) written notice that a payment is due and (ii) its computation of the amount of the payment. Any Withholding Tax as a result of payments for Incremental Withholding Tax and Required Incremental Withholding Tax under this Section 7.6.3, along with any other Withholding Tax, shall be timely remitted to the proper Governmental Authority for the account of Infinity in accordance with applicable Law and AbbVie shall provide Infinity reasonable evidence of the remittance within [**] days of such remittance. The Parties will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by either Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding taxes and similar obligations on payments made under this Agreement.

7.6.4. If for any taxable year of Infinity, an Infinity Affiliate or successor, the Required Withholding Tax Benefit exceeds the Required Incremental Withholding Tax for such taxable year, or the Withholding Tax Benefit exceeds the Incremental Withholding Tax for such taxable year, then Infinity shall make a payment or payments to AbbVie as follows:

(a) Infinity (or Infinity’s Affiliates or successors) shall make a payment to AbbVie equal to fifty percent (50%) of the excess of the Required Withholding Tax Benefit over the Required Incremental Withholding Tax, if any, for such taxable year or; and

(b) Infinity (or Infinity’s Affiliates or successors) shall make a payment to AbbVie equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the excess of the Withholding Tax Benefit over the Incremental Withholding Tax, if any, for such taxable year.

Infinity hereby agrees to inform AbbVie in the event that a payment is owed under this Section 7.6.4 within [**] days of the date on which Infinity, the Infinity Affiliate or successor files its United States Federal tax return for such taxable year. Infinity further agrees to make the requisite payments to AbbVie within [**] days of the filing of such return. Upon request, Infinity shall provide AbbVie with a reconciliation of the computation of the amount of the payments under this Section to the disclosures in the tax footnote to its audited financial statements.

 

70


7.6.5. Section 7.6.3 shall apply only if the recipient of the payment thereunder, whether Infinity, an Infinity Affiliate or successor, is a tax resident of the United States and the beneficial owner of the payment.

7.6.6. In the event that a taxing authority retroactively determines that a payment made by a Withholding Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement should have been subject to withholding or to additional withholding of taxes, and the Withholding Party remits such taxes to the taxing authority, the Withholding Party will have the right (a) to offset such amount, including any interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon (except to the extent any such interest or penalties result from the gross negligence of the Withholding Party), against future payment obligations of the Withholding Party under this Agreement, (b) to invoice the other Party for such amount (which shall be payable by the other Party within [**] days of its receipt of such invoice) or (c) to pursue reimbursement by any other available remedy.

7.6.7. All amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of value added tax or any similar consumption tax or duties (“Indirect Taxes”). If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments, the paying Party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by the receiving Party in respect of those payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with requirements for Indirect Taxes and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. If the Indirect Taxes originally paid or otherwise borne by the paying Party are in whole or in part subsequently determined not to have been chargeable, all necessary steps will be taken by the receiving Party to receive a refund of these undue Indirect Taxes from the applicable governmental authority or other fiscal authority and any amount of undue Indirect Taxes repaid by such authority to the receiving Party will be transferred to the paying Party within [**] days of receipt.

7.7. Currency Exchange.

7.7.1. Currency of Payments. All payments under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. Dollars, by wire transfer to an account designated by the receiving Party (which account the receiving Party may update from time to time in writing).

7.7.2. Currency Conversion. Except with respect to the calculation of Net Sales, for which the currency conversion shall be determined in accordance with the definition of “Net Sales,” if any amounts that are relevant to the determination of amounts to be paid under this Agreement or any calculations to be performed under this Agreement are denoted in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, then such amounts shall be converted to their U.S. Dollar equivalent as follows:

(a) With respect to amounts denoted in U.S. Dollars, all such amounts shall be expressed in U.S. Dollars; and

 

71


(b) With respect to amounts denoted in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, all such amounts shall be expressed both in the currency in which the amount was denoted and in the U.S. Dollar equivalent. The U.S. Dollar equivalent shall be calculated using the relevant Party’s then-current standard procedures and methodology, including its then-current standard exchange rate methodology for the translation of foreign currency expenses into U.S. Dollars or, in the case of Sublicensees, such similar methodology, consistently applied.

For clarity, the currency conversion provisions, and other relevant definitions and provisions, of the relevant Infinity Third Party Agreement shall apply to calculate the relevant Infinity Third Party Agreement Payments.

7.8. Blocked Payments. If, by reason of applicable Laws in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party or its Affiliate or Sublicensee to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments to the other Party, the owing Party shall promptly notify the owed Party of the conditions preventing such transfer and such distribution fees or other payments shall be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of the owed Party in a recognized banking institution designated by the owed Party or, if none is designated by the owed Party within a period of [**] days, in a recognized banking institution selected by the owing Party or its Affiliate and identified in a written notice given to the owed Party.

7.9. Late Payments. Interest shall be payable by a Party on any amounts payable to the other Party under this Agreement which are not paid by the due date for payment. All interest shall accrue and be calculated on a daily basis (both before and after any judgment) at a rate per annum equal to [**] above the then-current “prime rate” in effect published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition (but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permissible under applicable Law), for the period from the due date for payment until the date of actual payment. The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party owed the relevant payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment. For clarity, the Party owing such interest shall be solely responsible for paying such interest to the other Party and such interest shall not be considered Development Costs or Net Profit or Loss or in any other manner shared by the Parties.

(b) Prior to the adoption of the Global Publication Strategy, the following procedures shall apply with respect to the Parties’ or their Affiliates’ publication and presentation of the results of Development carried out on the Licensed Compounds and Products in the Field: Prior to publishing or presenting the results of any Development activities related to the Licensed Compounds or Products, each Party (the “Publishing Party”) shall provide to the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”) a copy of any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations that such Publishing Party intends to publish or present (“Proposed Publications”). Each Party shall designate in writing an individual(s) who shall be responsible for reviewing (or having reviewed) all Proposed Publications submitted by the other Party and may change such individual(s) on written notice to the other Party. Within [**] Business Days after receipt by the Reviewing Party, a designated individual of the Reviewing Party shall notify the Publishing Party in writing whether the Reviewing Party has an objection to the Proposed Publication because such Proposed Publication contains Confidential Information or patentable Know-How of the Reviewing Party or the Reviewing Party believes in good faith that such Proposed Publication is not in the best interests of the Exploitation of the Product. If a Reviewing Party notifies a Publishing Party that it has such an objection, the Publishing Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Reviewing Party to address such concern. The Publishing Party shall reasonably consider any other suggestions of the Reviewing Party.

10.2.1. Existing Patents. All Infinity Patent Rights existing as of the Execution Date are listed on Exhibit B (the “Existing Patents”). Infinity is, with respect to each Existing Patent listed on Exhibit B-1 the sole and exclusive owner of the entire right, title and interest in such Existing Patent; and with respect to each Existing Patent listed on Exhibit B-2, the sole and exclusive licensee of such Existing Patents. All Existing Patents are (i) subsisting and in good standing and (ii) being diligently prosecuted in the respective patent offices in the Territory in accordance with Law, and have been filed and maintained properly and correctly and all applicable fees have been paid on or before the due date for payment. To Infinity’s knowledge, all issued Existing Patents are subsisting and are not invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

 

86


10.2.2. Existing Know-How. All Know-How being used by Infinity to Exploit the Licensed Compound and Products as of the Execution Date (a) constitues Infinity Know-How and is being licensed to AbbVie hereunder or (b) is generally known to the public.

10.2.3. Delivery of Documentation. True, complete, and correct copies of: (a) all Existing Regulatory Filings relating to the Product; and (b) all material adverse information with respect to the safety and efficacy of the Licensed Compound known to Infinity, in each case ((a) and (b)) have been provided or made available to AbbVie prior to the Execution Date.

10.2.4. Third Party Challenges to Infinity IP. There are no claims, judgments, or settlements against, or amounts with respect thereto, owed by Infinity or any of its Affiliates relating to the Existing Patents or the Infinity Know-How. No claim or litigation has been brought or, to Infinity’s knowledge, threatened by any Person (a) alleging that the Existing Patents are invalid or unenforceable, (b) asserting the misuse, or non-infringement of any of the Infinity Patent Rights, (c) challenging Infinity’s Control of the Infinity Patent Rights or (d) alleging misappropriation of the Infinity Know-How.

Except as set forth in the Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements, the Infinity Patent Rights are free and clear of any liens, charges, encumbrances or, to Infinity’s knowledge, claims of ownership by any Third Party, other than (a) non-exclusive licenses granted by Infinity to Third Parties, which grants are not in conflict with, and do not preclude AbbVie from exercising, the licenses granted to AbbVie hereunder, or of the nature of material transfer agreements, clinical trial agreements and manufacturing agreements, which will not adversely affect AbbVie’s ability to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Products in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) the rights of the relevant Third Party counterparties to the Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements and their licensors. Infinity is entitled to grant the licenses specified in the Agreement.

10.2.6. Non-Infringement of Third Party IP. To Infinity’s knowledge, the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Licensed Compounds or Products, as conducted by Infinity prior to the Execution Date did not infringe any then-issued Patent Right or misappropriate any then-existing Know-How or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any Person. To Infinity’s knowledge, the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Licensed Compounds or Products as specifically described in the initial GDP attached hereto as Exhibit C (other than the Combination Clinical Studies) would not infringe any Patent Right issued as of the Effective Date or misappropriate any Know-How or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any Person existing as of the Effective Date. To Infinity’s knowledge, the Infinity Patent Rights and Infinity Know-How comprise all of the Patent Rights and Know-How necessary for Developing the Licensed Compound and Product, other than Patent Rights and Know-How necessary for Developing any other active ingredient in Combination Products, in accordance with the Development Plan and for Commercializing the Product as it exists on the Execution Date. No written claim of infringement of the Patent Rights or misappropriation of the Know-How of any Third Party has been made, or to Infinity’s knowledge, threatened, against Infinity or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Compound or Products.

 

87


10.2.7. Absence of Litigation. Except as identified in Schedule 10.2.7, there are no judgments or settlements against or owed by Infinity or, to Infinity’s knowledge, pending litigation against Infinity or litigation threatened against Infinity in writing, in each case related to the Product, including any relating to any Regulatory Filings Controlled by Infinity as of the Effective Date.

10.2.8. US Government Rights. Neither Infinity nor any of its Affiliates is or has been a party to any agreement with the U.S. federal government or an agency thereof pursuant to which the U.S. federal government or such agency provided funding for the Development of a Licensed Compound or Product, and the inventions claimed or covered by the Existing Patents are not a “subject invention” as that term is described in 35 U.S.C. Section 201(f).

10.2.9. Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements. (a) The Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements existing as of the Execution Date are the only agreements between Infinity and any Third Party pursuant to which Infinity has in-licensed any Existing Patents or pursuant to which Infinity owes any Third Party any royalties with respect to Licensed Compounds or Products; (b) prior to the Execution Date, Infinity has provided AbbVie with an opportunity to review complete and correct copies of the Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements existing as of the Execution Date; (c) to Infinity’s knowledge, such Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements remain in full force and effect as of the Execution Date; (d) as of the Execution Date, Infinity is in material compliance with the terms of such Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements and, to Infinity’s knowledge, the counterparties to such Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements are in material compliance with the terms of such Existing Infinity Third Party Agreements; and (e) Infinity has obtained any and all consents required under such Third Party Agreements as may be necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting Section 10.1.4, the terms of this Agreement do not breach or constitute a default under the terms of any Existing Infinity Third Party Agreement.

(a) Infinity has obtained from each of its Affiliates, employees and agents, and from the employees and agents of its Affiliates, who are participating in the Exploitation of the Licensed Compound or Products, rights to any and all Know-How created by such employees and agents that relates to the Licensed Compound or Products, such that AbbVie

 

88


shall, by virtue of this Agreement, receive from Infinity, without payments beyond those required by ARTICLE 7, the licenses and other rights granted to AbbVie hereunder, except with respect to those Persons from whom obtaining such rights is not customary, such as academic and non-profit Persons.

(b) Each Person who has or has had any ownership rights in or to any Existing Patents purported to be owned solely by Infinity, has assigned and has executed an agreement assigning its entire right, title, and interest in and to such Existing Patents to Infinity; to Infinity’s knowledge, no current officer, employee, agent, or consultant of Infinity or any of its Affiliates is in violation of any term of any assignment or other agreement, in each case, regarding the protection of Patents or other intellectual property or proprietary information of Infinity or such Affiliate.

Neither Infinity nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of its or their respective officers, employees, or agents has made an untrue statement of material fact or fraudulent statement to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the Development of the Licensed Compound or the Products, failed to disclose a material fact required to be disclosed to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the Development of the Licensed Compound or the Products, or committed an act, made a statement, or failed to make a statement with respect to the Development of the Licensed Compound or the Products that could reasonably be expected to provide a basis for the FDA to invoke its policy respecting “Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery, and Illegal Gratuities”, set forth in 56 Fed. Reg. 46191 (September 10, 1991) and any amendments thereto or any analogous laws or policies in the Territory.

10.3. Additional Representations and Warranties of AbbVie. AbbVie represents and warrants to Infinity that as of the Execution Date:

Each Party further covenants that if, during the term of this Agreement, it becomes aware that it or any of its or its Affiliates’ employees or agents performing hereunder is the subject of any investigation or proceeding that could lead to that Party becoming a debarred entity or individual, an excluded entity or individual or a convicted entity or individual, such Party shall immediately notify the other Party, and the other Party shall have the right to immediately terminate this agreement in accordance with Section 12.2. This provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

10.6. Covenants with Respect to Infinity Third Party Agreements.

10.6.1. Acknowledgement.

10.6.2. Compliance. AbbVie shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, comply in all material respects with the Infinity Third Party Agreements and take any action reasonably requested by Infinity, to prevent any potential material breach by AbbVie, its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any term of any Infinity Third Party Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Third Party counterparty to any Infinity Third Party Agreement (and their licensors) shall have the same rights of audit and inspection with respect to AbbVie and its Affiliates and Sublicensees as granted by Infinity to such Third Party counterparty (or its licensor) pursuant to the applicable Infinity Third Party Agreement, provided, however, that (a) any audit conducted by a Third Party counterparty to any Infinity Third Party Agreement (or such party’s licensor) shall constitute an audit conducted by Infinity for purposes of Section 7.5 of this Agreement and (b) any such audit shall be limited to the scope set forth in Section 7.5 of this Agreement.

 

90


10.6.3. Termination and Amendments. Infinity shall not, without AbbVie’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), terminate, or enter into any amendment to, any Infinity Third Party Agreement which termination or amendment would have an adverse effect, in any material respect, on AbbVie’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or on the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Products as contemplated hereunder. To the extent permitted under the relevant Infinity Third Party Agreement, Infinity shall provide AbbVie with a copy of all modifications to or amendments of the Infinity Third Party Agreements, regardless of whether AbbVie’s consent was required with respect thereto.

10.6.4. Breach of Infinity Third Party Agreements. Each Party shall use Diligent Efforts not to perform any acts or omissions that would constitute a breach of any of the Infinity Third Party Agreements which breach would have an adverse effect, in any material respect, on the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Products as contemplated hereunder. Each Party shall provide the other promptly with notice of the occurrence of any such breach (or receipt of notice of an allegation of any such breach). AbbVie may deduct from payments due to Infinity any expenses incurred by AbbVie to cure any breach by Infinity of an Infinity Third Party Agreement, unless such breach was caused by AbbVie (including AbbVie’s breach of any obligation hereunder).

10.6.5. Intellikine Agreement.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 10.6.5, the sublicenses granted to AbbVie hereunder with respect to the Patent Rights and Know-How licensed to Infinity pursuant to the Intellikine Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the Intellikine Agreement (except as provided in Section 15.1(b) therein) and the provisions of Section 15.2 of the Intellikine Agreement shall, to the extent applicable to AbbVie, apply, except that any such sublicense to AbbVie of the rights granted to Infinity under Section 2.1 of the Intellikine Agreement to develop or commercialize Licensed Compounds or Products shall not terminate upon termination of the Intellikine Agreement but instead shall remain in full force and effect if AbbVie is not then in material breach of this Agreement and AbbVie provides to Intellikine within thirty (30) days after termination of the Intellikine Agreement a written agreement to be bound as AbbVie under the terms and conditions of the Intellikine Agreement as to the field and territory in which AbbVie has been granted rights under this Agreement.

(b) If, as a result of AbbVie’s acts or omissions, Infinity breaches its obligations under the Intellikine Agreement, Infinity shall provide AbbVie with prompt written notice of the actions or omissions by AbbVie causing such breach upon becoming aware of such breach (such actions and omissions, a “Headlicense Breach”). AbbVie shall have an opportunity to cure such Headlicense Breach in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 12.2.1 (but without any extension of the cure period therein), so long as AbbVie provides evidence to Infinity during such cure period of its actions to cure such breach. If AbbVie fails to cure its Headlicense Breach or to provide evidence of such actions in accordance with the preceding sentence, AbbVie’s Headlicense Breach shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement by AbbVie, which material breach shall not be subject to any further cure periods under Section 12.2.1 of this Agreement.

 

91


(c) In the event the Intellikine Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a Headlicense Breach or other than any action by AbbVie giving rise to a right for Infinity to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.2.3 and AbbVie enters an agreement to be bound as AbbVie under the terms and conditions of the Intellikine Agreement or otherwise acquires or licenses rights from Intellikine permitting AbbVie to develop or commercialize Licensed Compounds or Products, with the right to sublicense such rights to Infinity, then all payments made or owing by AbbVie pursuant to such agreement shall be deducted from and recouped against all payments made or owing by AbbVie to Infinity under this Agreement.

10.7. Covenants with Respect to AbbVie Third Party Agreements.

10.7.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all rights, licenses and sublicenses granted by AbbVie to Infinity, and all obligations imposed on Infinity, hereunder or under any Related Agreement are subject to, and shall be construed in accordance with, the AbbVie Third Party Agreements, and nothing herein shall be interpreted in a manner inconsistent with Infinity’s obligations under any AbbVie Third Party Agreement.

10.7.2. Infinity shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, comply in all material respects with the AbbVie Third Party Agreements and take any action reasonably requested by AbbVie, to prevent any potential material breach by Infinity, its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any term of any AbbVie Third Party Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Third Party counterparty to any AbbVie Third Party Agreement (and their licensors) shall have the same rights of audit and inspection with respect to Infinity and its Affiliates and Sublicensees as granted by AbbVie to such Third Party counterparty (or its licensor) pursuant to the applicable AbbVie Third Party Agreement, provided, however, that (a) any audit conducted by a Third Party counterparty to any AbbVie Third Party Agreement (or such party’s licensor) shall constitute an audit conducted by AbbVie for purposes of Section 7.5 of this Agreement and (b) any such audit shall be limited to the scope set forth in Section 7.5 of this Agreement.

10.7.3. AbbVie shall not, without Infinity’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), terminate, or enter into any amendment to, any AbbVie Third Party Agreement which termination or amendment would have a material adverse effect on Infinity’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or on the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Products as contemplated hereunder. To the extent permitted under the relevant AbbVie Third Party Agreement, AbbVie shall provide Infinity with a copy of all modifications to or amendments of the AbbVie Third Party Agreements, regardless of whether Infinity’s consent was required with respect thereto.

10.7.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights, licenses and sublicenses granted by AbbVie to Infinity in this Agreement or any Related Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable AbbVie Third Party Agreements, and the rights granted to or retained by the counterparties thereunder or their licensors.

 

92


10.7.5. Each Party shall use Diligent Efforts not to perform any acts or omissions that would constitute a breach of any of the AbbVie Third Party Agreements which breach would have a material adverse effect on the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Products as contemplated hereunder. Each Party shall provide the other promptly with notice of the occurrence of any such breach (or receipt of notice of an allegation of any such breach).

10.7.6. AbbVie shall (a) use Diligent Efforts to comply with the terms of each AbbVie Third Party Agreement; and (b) promptly notify Infinity in writing if AbbVie receives any notice alleging breach with a AbbVie Third Party Agreement or terminating, or purporting to terminate, a AbbVie Third Party Agreement. In the event that AbbVie receives written notice alleging that it is in breach of any AbbVie Third Party Agreement, AbbVie shall advise Infinity thereof and provide Infinity with a copy of such notice to the extent permitted under such AbbVie Third Party Agreement. In the event that AbbVie does not cure or challenge the breach alleged in such notice (which may include causing the counterparty to such AbbVie Third Party Agreement to retract such allegation) by the date that is five (5) days before the date on which such counterparty would be permitted to terminate such AbbVie Third Party Agreement due to such breach, then Infinity shall have the right, to the extent practicable and to the extent permitted under such AbbVie Third Party Agreement, to remedy the situation alleged in such notice and AbbVie shall reimburse Infinity for any Out-of-Pocket Costs that Infinity reasonably incurs in remedying such breach.

10.8. Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain liability insurance (or self-insure) with respect to its activities hereunder in an amount consistent with industry standards. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-insurance) evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Term and thereafter for the period of time required below, each Party shall maintain on an ongoing basis comprehensive general liability insurance in the minimum amount of $[**] per occurrence and $[**] annual aggregate combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage liability; and products liability insurance (including contractual liability coverage on such Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement) in the amount of at least $[**] per occurrence and as an annual aggregate combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage liability; provided, however, that (a) prior to the initiation of any Clinical Study, the Party responsible for such Clinical Study shall secure and maintain in full force and effect clinical trial insurance in compliance with applicable Law in those countries where such Clinical Study is conducted, and (b) commencing not later than [**] days prior to the reasonably anticipated First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Compound or Product, and thereafter for the period of time required below, each Party shall obtain and maintain on an ongoing basis products liability insurance (including contractual liability coverage on such Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement) in the amount of at least $[**] per occurrence and as an annual aggregate combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage liability. All of such insurance coverage may be maintained through a self-insurance plan that substantially complies with the foregoing limits and requirements and may be satisfied through one or more policies, including an umbrella policy; provided, that such self-insurance is determined to be investment quality by a recognized rating agency such as Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s. Not later than [**] days following receipt of written request from a Party, the other Party shall provide to the requesting Party a letter(s) affirming appropriate self-insurance and/or a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage in accordance with this Agreement. Each Party shall maintain such insurance or self-insurance coverage without interruption during the Term and for a period of [**] years thereafter, and, if

 

93


applicable, shall provide certificates and/or letters evidencing such insurance coverage without interruption as reasonably requested during the period of time for which such coverage must be maintained. Each Party shall be provided at least [**] days’ prior written notice of any cancellation or material decrease in the other Party’s insurance coverage limits described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party’s failure to maintain adequate insurance shall not relieve that Party of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.

In the event of a Product Liability Action against a single Party, the unnamed Party shall have the right, in the unnamed Party’s sole discretion, to join or otherwise participate in such Action with legal counsel selected by the unnamed Party and reasonably acceptable to the named Party. The Party named in such Product Liability Action shall have the right to control the defense of the action, but shall notify and keep the unnamed Party apprised in writing of such action and shall consider and take into account the unnamed Party’s reasonable interests and requests and suggestions regarding the defense of such action. In the event of a Product Liability Action against both Parties, the Parties shall mutually agree upon which Party shall control the response to such Product Liability Action.

11.4.2. The unnamed Party of a Product Liability Action shall reasonably cooperate with the named Party in the preparation and formulation of a defense to such Product Liability Action, and in taking other steps reasonably necessary to respond to such Product Liability Action.

With respect to Product Liability Actions arising in the Ex-US Territory, except with respect to such portion (if any) of Product Liability Costs that are Losses entitled to indemnification under Sections 11.1 or 11.2, which shall be solely borne by the relevant Indemnifying Party, all Product Liability Costs related to such actions shall be borne by the Party incurring such costs. With respect to Product Liability Actions arising in the US, except with respect to such portion (if any) of Product Liability Costs that are Losses entitled to indemnification under Sections 11.1 or 11.2, which shall be solely borne by the relevant Indemnifying Party, all Product Liability Costs related to such actions shall be considered “Shared Product Liability Costs” and included in Allowable Expenses.

12.2.1. Termination for Material Breach.

(a) Termination for Material Breach. Upon (i) any material breach of this Agreement by Infinity or (ii) any material breach of this Agreement by AbbVie, other than a material breach as set forth below in Section 12.2.1(c) or 12.2.1(d) (the Party so allegedly breaching being the “Breaching Party”), the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by providing [**] days written notice to the Breaching Party in the case of a material breach of a payment obligation and [**] days written notice to the Breaching Party in the case of any other material breach, which notice shall, in each case (a) expressly reference this Section 12.2.1, (b) reasonably describe the alleged breach which is the basis of such termination, and (c) clearly state the Non-Breaching Party’s intent to terminate this Agreement if the alleged breach is not cured within the applicable cure period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the alleged material breach by AbbVie is that it has failed to use Diligent Efforts to seek Regulatory Approval for or Commercialize the Product in a particular country in the Ex-US Territory under Section 5.1.3(b), then Infinity shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such country (and not in its entirety); and (y) AbbVie may elect, in lieu of terminating this Agreement, to proceed as set forth below in Section 12.2.1(b) and 12.2.1(d) in the case of material breach by Infinity. The termination shall become effective at the end of the notice period unless the Breaching Party cures such breach during such notice period; provided, that the Non-Breaching Party may, by notice to the Breaching Party, designate a later date for such termination in order to facilitate an orderly transition of activities relating to the Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if such material breach (other than a payment breach), by its nature, is curable, but is not reasonably curable within the applicable cure period, then such cure period shall be extended if the Breaching Party provides a written plan for curing such breach to the Non-Breaching Party and uses Diligent Efforts to cure such breach in accordance with such written plan; provided, that no such extension shall exceed [**] days without

 

96


the consent of the Non-Breaching Party; and (2) if the Breaching Party disputes that it has materially breached this Agreement, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to ARTICLE 13. If, as a result of the application of such dispute resolution procedures, the Breaching Party is determined to be in material breach of this Agreement (an “Adverse Ruling”), then if the Breaching Party fails to cure such material breach within [**] days after such ruling (whether or not such actions are specified by the Adverse Ruling) (or [**] days after such ruling in the case of a payment breach), then the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party as provided in this Section 12.2.1(a).

(b) Breach by Infinity of its Development Obligations. If Infinity materially breaches its obligation under Section 4.3.1 to use Diligent Efforts to conduct the Development of the Licensed Compound, including a material breach of its obligations under any Regulatory Approval, then following the notice and cure periods, and where applicable, any Adverse Ruling, all as described in Section 12.2.1(a), AbbVie shall have the right, in lieu of terminating this Agreement in its entirety, to terminate only that portion of this Agreement that provides Infinity with the right to conduct Development activities and to thereafter assume the conduct of all Development activities allocated to Infinity under the GDP upon thirty (30) days written notice to Infinity (or such longer period as AbbVie may determine is needed to implement such transition). In such event, the Development Costs for such assumed Development activities shall remain solely the obligation of Infinity, up to the Development Threshold, and thereafter, shared equally by the Parties in accordance with Section 4.6.1. To the extent Infinity fails to fund such assumed Development activities by AbbVie, AbbVie shall, in addition to any other remedies (including the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.2.1(a)), fund such amounts consistent with the then-current GDP and Development Budget, and such amounts shall be deducted and recouped from any amounts thereafter owing to Infinity. No assumption of Development activities shall alter Infinity’s rights to share in the Net Profit or Loss in the US, or receive milestones and royalties set forth in ARTICLE 7 and Schedule 7 or any other economic provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Breach by AbbVie of its Development Obligations. If AbbVie materially breaches its Development diligence obligations under Section 4.3.1, then Infinity shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, but rather Infinity shall have the right to terminate only that portion of this Agreement that provides AbbVie with the right to conduct Development activities, and thereafter assume the conduct of all such Development activities under the GDP, following the notice and cure periods, and where applicable any Adverse Ruling, all described in Section 12.2.1(a), upon thirty (30) days written notice to AbbVie; provided, however, that in no event will Infinity have the right to conduct any Clinical Study that includes the AbbVie Combination Compound, in combination with the Licensed Compound or cast a deciding vote with respect to such matters. Such assumption will not affect the allocation of Development Costs of such assumed Development activities as set forth in Section 4.6.1, nor any other economic provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Breach of Commercialization Obligations by Either Party. If (i) AbbVie materially breaches its obligations to use Diligent Efforts to Co-Promote the Product in the US, or (ii) Infinity materially breaches its obligations to use Diligent Efforts to either (x) Co-Promote the Product, (y) distribute and sell the Product, or (z) provide patient services, in each case, in the US, then the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right, following the notice and cure

 

97


periods, and where applicable any Adverse Ruling, all described in Section 12.2.1(a), to (A) terminate only that portion of this Agreement that provides the Breaching Party with the right to so conduct just those Commercialization activities that gave rise to such material breach, and thereafter assume the right to conduct just such Commercialization activities itself (e.g., in the case of uncured material breach by Infinity of its obligations to distribute and sell the Product, AbbVie would have the right to terminate Infinity’s rights to conduct such activities and to assume such activities, the breaching Party would have the right continue conducting all other Commercialization activities for which it is responsible hereunder) and (B) notwithstanding Section 2.9.3, cast a deciding vote with respect to all matters referred to the Executive Officers by the JSC pursuant to Section 2.9.2 relating to such Commercialization activities under this Agreement consistent with such Party’s diligence obligations under this Agreement. If AbbVie terminates Infinity’s rights to distribute and sell the Product in the US Territory in accordance with Section 5.5, then AbbVie shall distribute and sell the Product and the terms of Section 7.2.1 and Section 7.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Parties.

(e) Recoupment. If a Party materially breaches this Agreement and the other Party is awarded damages pursuant to a dispute resolution procedure under ARTICLE 13, then the Party awarded such damages, in addition to any other remedies, shall recoup any unrecovered damages against payments due the breaching Party under this Agreement.

12.2.2. Termination by AbbVie Unilaterally.

(a) AbbVie may, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Infinity, which notice expressly references this Section 12.2.2, unilaterally terminate this Agreement without cause.

(b) If AbbVie provides notice of termination pursuant to Section 12.2.2(a), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the effective date of such termination. In the event of termination pursuant to Section 12.2.2(a), during the period from the date of AbbVie’s notice of termination until the effective date of termination, all licenses and rights granted to AbbVie under this Agreement shall be non-exclusive.

12.2.3. Challenges of Infinity Patent Rights. If AbbVie or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees (a) commences or participates in any Action (including any patent opposition, re-examination or invalidation proceeding), or otherwise asserts any claim, challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any Infinity Patent Right or any claim thereof or (b) actively and knowingly assists any Person in bringing or prosecuting any Action (including any patent opposition, re-examination or invalidation proceeding) challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any Infinity Patent Right or any claim thereof (each of (a) and (b), a “Patent Challenge”), then, to the extent permitted by Law, Infinity may, in its sole discretion, give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to AbbVie that Infinity may terminate this Agreement, and, unless AbbVie, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, as applicable, withdraw or cause to be withdrawn all such challenges (or in the case of ex-parte proceedings, multi-party proceedings or other Patent Challenges that AbbVie, its Affiliate or Sublicensee do not have the power to unilaterally withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, AbbVie, its Affiliates and Sublicensees cease actively assisting any other party to such Patent Challenge and, to the extent AbbVie, its Affiliate or Sublicensee is a party to such Patent Challenge, it withdraws from such Patent Challenge) within thirty (30) days after AbbVie’s receipt of notice regarding such Patent Challenge, Infinity may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to AbbVie.

 

98


12.2.4. Termination for Insolvency. In the event that either Party (a) files for protection under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over substantially all of its property that is not discharged within ninety (90) days after such filing, (d) proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, (e) proposes or is a party to any dissolution or liquidation, (f) files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against that is not discharged within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof, or (g) admits in writing its inability generally to meet its obligations as they fall due in the general course, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.

12.3. Effects of Termination. In the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to any country, for any reason, the provisions of this Section 12.3 shall apply, with respect to the terminated country or this Agreement in its entirety, as applicable.

12.3.1. Effects of Termination Generally. Promptly following the receipt of any notice of termination in the entirety pursuant to Section 10.6.5(b), 12.2.1, 12.2.2, 12.2.3 or 12.2.4, Infinity shall prepare, with AbbVie’s reasonable cooperation (as reasonably requested by Infinity), and the Parties shall negotiate, a termination and wind-down plan that will include, at a minimum, a plan for accomplishing the activities described in this Section 12.3 (“Termination and Wind-Down Plan”). Except as set forth in this ARTICLE 12, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement generally, including the GDP and all Commercialization Plans, shall terminate conclusively and neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement from and after the effective date of termination, except as set forth in this Section 12.2.1; provided that if this Agreement is terminated with respect to a particular country only, then such rights and obligations will terminate only to the extent they relate solely to the terminated country. If AbbVie has provided a notice of termination under Section 12.2.2(a), Infinity may shorten the termination notice period under Section 12.2.2(a) in its discretion.

12.3.2. Accrued Obligations. Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any obligation or liability which, on the effective date of such expiration or termination, has already accrued to the other Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such expiration or termination; provided, that no milestone payment shall be due pursuant to Section 7.1 if the event triggering such milestone payment occurs during the period following a notice of termination but before the effective date of termination.

12.3.3. Non-Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, termination of this Agreement in whole or in part by a Party shall be without prejudice to other remedies any Party may have at law or equity.

12.3.4. Survival. This Section 12.3.4, the provisions set forth in the following Sections, as well as, to the extent applicable, any other Sections or defined terms referred to in such Sections or Articles or necessary to give them effect, shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety: Section 3.2.4 ([**]); Section 8.1 (Ownership of Inventions); Section

 

99


8.1.2 ([**] Prosecution) (solely with respect to [**]), Section 8.3 (Third Party Infringement) (solely with respect to [**]), Section 8.7.1 (Retained Rights in Corporate Marks and Logos); Section 8.7.2(c) (Ownership); ARTICLE 9 (Confidentiality); ARTICLE 10 (Representations and Warranties); ARTICLE 11 (Indemnification); Section 12.3 (Effects of Termination); Section 14.4 (Choice of Law); Section 14.5 (Notices); Section 14.12 (No Consequential or Punitive Damages); Section 14.20 (Records Generally); ARTICLE 13 (Alternative Dispute Resolution); and, to the extent that any obligations have accrued prior to termination for any reason under this ARTICLE 12 or otherwise extend beyond the effective date of termination (as expressly set forth therein), the payment provisions in ARTICLE 7 (Financial Provisions). Furthermore, any other provisions required to interpret the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, including applicable definitions in ARTICLE 1, shall survive to the extent required. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.3.4, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, including any licenses granted hereunder, shall terminate upon expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety or solely with respect to the terminated country, as the case may be, for any reason.

12.3.5. Summary of Activities. Within [**] days after the notice of termination of this Agreement is provided, AbbVie shall provide to Infinity a comprehensive report of the status and results of its, and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ activities under this Agreement, including its and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization activities, if any, with respect to Licensed Compounds and Products in the country(ies) or territory where such termination has occurred, as applicable.

12.3.6. Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals. At Infinity’s request, AbbVie shall, promptly following the effectiveness of such termination, assign and transfer to Infinity, all Regulatory Filings, filings for Pricing and Reimbursement Approval and Marketing Authorizations for Products that are held or controlled by or under authority of AbbVie or its Affiliates or Sublicensees as of the effective date of termination, with respect to the terminated country or the Territory, as the case may be, and shall take such actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights under such Regulatory Filings, filings for Pricing and Reimbursement Approval and Marketing Authorizations to Infinity. If this Agreement is terminated in its entirety, AbbVie shall also promptly transfer control of and responsibility for maintaining the global safety database for Products to Infinity (if previously held by AbbVie or its Affiliates), and Infinity shall accept such transfer and responsibility. If applicable Law prevents or delays the transfer of ownership of any such Regulatory Filing, filing for Pricing and Reimbursement Approval or Marketing Authorizations to Infinity, AbbVie shall grant, and does hereby grant, to Infinity an exclusive and irrevocable right of access and Right of Reference to such Regulatory Filing, filing for Pricing and Reimbursement Approval and Marketing Authorizations for the Products in the Territory or the terminated country, as the case may be, and shall reasonably cooperate to make the benefits of such Regulatory Filings, filings for Pricing and Reimbursement Approval and Marketing Authorizations available to Infinity or its designee(s). Infinity shall have the right to grant licenses or sublicenses (as applicable) under the rights granted to it under this Section 12.3.6 to its Affiliates and Third Parties, through multiple tiers. For clarity, the rights and obligations in this Section 12.3.6 shall not apply to Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals relating to or involving AbbVie Combination Compounds.

12.3.7. Technology Licenses.

(a) Upon the effectiveness of any termination of this Agreement, (i) all rights and licenses granted by Infinity hereunder shall immediately terminate, in their entirety or solely in the terminated country(ies), as applicable, and (ii) AbbVie shall and hereby does grant to Infinity, effective upon the effective date of any such termination, an exclusive, royalty-bearing, perpetual, irrevocable license under the AbbVie Intellectual Property to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize Licensed Compounds and Products in the Field in the Territory or the terminated country(ies), as applicable; provided that: (i) the foregoing license shall exclude any license or other rights with respect to any active ingredient that is not a Licensed Compound and which is covered by Patents Controlled by AbbVie or any of its Affiliates, including, for clarity, AbbVie Combination Compound; (ii) Infinity shall be responsible for (A) making any payments (including royalties, milestones and other amounts) payable by AbbVie to Third Parties under any Third Party agreements with respect to the AbbVie Patents and AbbVie Know-How that are the subject of the license granted by AbbVie to Infinity pursuant to this Section 12.3.6 and that arise out of the Exploitation of the Products in the Territory of the terminated country(ies), as applicable, by Infinity or its Affiliate or Sublicensees by making such payments directly to AbbVie and, in each instance, Infinity shall make the requisite payments to AbbVie and provide the necessary reporting information to AbbVie in sufficient time to enable AbbVie to comply with its obligations under such Third Party agreements, and (B) complying with any other obligations included in any such Third Party agreements that are applicable to the grant to AbbVie of such license or to the exercise of such license by Infinity or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees; and (iii) AbbVie shall be responsible for paying or providing to any such Third Party any payments or reports made or provided by Infinity under this Section 12.3.7. Infinity shall have the right to grant sublicenses under the rights granted to it under this Section 12.3.7 to its Affiliates and Third Parties, through multiple tiers, except as may be limited by any applicable AbbVie Third Party Agreement.

(b) In consideration of the license under Section 12.3.7 and payments then made to date by AbbVie under this Agreement, Infinity shall pay AbbVie a royalty on Net Sales of each Product in each country of the Territory or the terminated country(ies), as applicable, during the Post-Termination Royalty Term for such Product in such country(ies) in the following circumstances and at the following rates: (A) if this Agreement is terminated by AbbVie under Section 12.2.1(a) for Infinity’s material breach, the royalty rate will be (x) [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales [**] but such royalties will be paid only until the cumulative royalty payments under this Section 12.3.7 equal [**] (B) if this Agreement is terminated by Infinity under Section 12.2.1(a) (in its entirety or with respect to a particular country(ies)) for AbbVie’s material breach, the royalty rate will be [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales. For purposes of this Section 12.3.6, the definition of “Net Sales” and the terms of ARTICLE 7 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the calculation (including royalty reduction), payment, recording, and auditing of Infinity’s obligations to pay royalties under this Section. For purposes of this Section, “Post-Termination Royalty Term” means, with respect to each Product and each country or other jurisdiction in the Territory or terminated country(ies), as applicable, the period beginning on the date of the First Sale of such Product in such country or other jurisdiction after termination of this Agreement and ending on [**].

12.3.8. Survival of Sublicenses. In the event of a termination of this Agreement while a sublicense of rights granted by AbbVie with respect to the terminated country is in effect, the terms of this Section 12.3.8 shall apply, provided, that the applicable Sublicensee is not in material breach of the applicable sublicense agreement. In such event, (i) all of such Sublicensee’s obligations under the applicable sublicense agreement to AbbVie shall remain in effect as

 

101


obligations to Infinity and shall be enforceable solely by Infinity as a third party beneficiary, (ii) such Sublicensee’s rights under the sublicense agreement that do not exceed and are not inconsistent with Infinity’s obligations to AbbVie under this Agreement, whether in scope, duration, nature or otherwise, shall survive termination; provided, that the foregoing shall in no way be interpreted to increase the scope, duration, territory or other aspect of the rights sublicensed to such Sublicensee and (iii) all of AbbVie’s rights under the sublicense agreement shall remain in effect, may be exercised solely by Infinity and shall inure to the exclusive benefit of Infinity.

12.3.9. Marks and Domains. Effective upon the effective date of termination, AbbVie hereby assigns and shall cause to be assigned to Infinity all rights in and to any Product Trademarks in the terminated country(ies) or worldwide, as applicable, and all Internet domain names for the terminated country incorporating any Product Trademark as its URL address or any part of such address. It is understood that such assignment shall not include the name of AbbVie or any of its Affiliates, nor the corporate logo, service mark, or trademark for AbbVie or for any of its Affiliates as a corporate entity.

12.3.10. Governance during Wind-Down. Beginning on the date of notice of termination of this Agreement in its entirety and until such termination becomes effective, Section 2.9 and ARTICLE 13 shall no longer apply with respect to any decisions of any Committee or Working Group with respect to the terminated country or this Agreement in its entirety, as applicable, and Infinity shall have the right to cast a deciding vote with respect to any matter to be decided by any Committee or Working Groups, which deciding vote shall be deemed the decision of such Committee or Working Group; provided, however, that Infinity may not cast such a deciding vote (a) to impose additional responsibilities on AbbVie under the GDP or a Commercialization Plan of a materially different nature or magnitude than AbbVie’s responsibilities thereunder prior to termination, or (b) to increase the budget included within the Development Budget or any Commercialization Budget, as last approved by the JSC.

12.3.11. Post-Termination Shared Product Liability Costs. In the event that Infinity terminates this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 12.2.1 (Termination for Material Breach) or AbbVie terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2.2 (Termination by AbbVie Unilaterally), a Party or any of its Affiliates incurs any Shared Product Liability Costs after the Term, which Shared Product Liability Costs are attributable to sales or other activities under this Agreement during the Term (or with respect to the terminated country prior to termination with respect to such country only), each Party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of such Shared Product Liability Costs. Each Party will promptly pay the other Party its share of any such Shared Product Liability Costs after receipt of detailed supporting documentation evidencing such Shared Product Liability Costs.

12.3.12. On-Going Trials. In the event that any Clinical Study with respect to a AbbVie Combination Compound has been Commenced and is on-going as of the effective date of any termination of this Agreement by Infinity in its entirety pursuant to Section 12.1 (Termination for Material Breach) or by AbbVie pursuant to Section 12.2.2 (Termination by AbbVie Unilaterally), AbbVie shall continue to fund fifty percent (50%) of the Combination Study Costs of such Clinical Study and conduct such Clinical Study. In addition, if there are any Clinical Studies being conducted by or under the authority of AbbVie or any of its Affiliates at the time of notice of termination (other than Combination Clinical Studies), with respect to a Product that has

 

102


been Commenced and is on-going as of the effective date of the termination of this Agreement in its entirety (an “On-Going Clinical Study”), AbbVie shall, as Infinity may request, (a) promptly transition to Infinity or its designee some or all of such On-Going Clinical Studies and the activities related to or supporting such trials, (b) unless this Agreement has been terminated by AbbVie pursuant to Section 12.2.1 (Termination for Material Breach), continue to conduct such On-Going Clinical Studies for a period requested by Infinity up to a maximum of [**] after the effective date of such termination, or (c) terminate such On-Going Clinical Studies in a manner consistent with applicable Laws; provided, however, that in the event that Infinity, AbbVie, an institutional review board or independent safety board determines that an On-Going Clinical Study being run by AbbVie or any of its Affiliates would pose an unacceptable safety risk for subjects or patients participating in such On-Going Clinical Study, then AbbVie shall not be obligated to continue such Clinical Study and AbbVie shall provide Infinity with a full explanation of the safety issue concerns raised by such institutional review board or independent safety board and, if requested by Infinity, reasonable documentation thereof and such additional information as may be necessary to permit Infinity to fully understand and assess such safety issues.

12.3.13. Commercialization Wind-Down. This Section 12.3.13 shall apply unless this Agreement is terminated by AbbVie pursuant to Section 12.2.1: To the extent requested by Infinity, AbbVie and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall reasonably cooperate with Infinity and its designees to facilitate a smooth, orderly and prompt transition to Infinity or its designees of Commercialization activities of Products already commercially sold by AbbVie in such countries in which AbbVie was distributing and selling Products as of the effective date of termination in the terminated country (or anywhere in the Territory, if this Agreement is terminated in its entirety) (the “Launched Products”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and as set forth in the applicable, then-current Commercialization Plan, for a period requested by Infinity, not to exceed [**] from the effective date of such expiration or termination (the “Agreement Wind-Down Period”); provided, that Infinity may terminate such activities during the Agreement Wind-Down Period upon [**] days’ notice to AbbVie. If Infinity requests that AbbVie and its Affiliates and Sublicensees distribute and sell the Launched Products during the Agreement Wind-Down Period, Infinity shall grant, and hereby grants, to AbbVie for the duration of the Agreement Wind-Down Period (or, if earlier, until Infinity terminates such by notice as described in the preceding sentence), a non-exclusive license under the Infinity Intellectual Property to Commercialize and have Commercialized the Launched Products in the applicable countries in the ex-US Territory, solely to perform such distribution and sale with respect to Launched Products in countries requested by Infinity. If Infinity requests that AbbVie and its Affiliates and Sublicensees distribute and sell the Launched Products during the Agreement Wind-Down Period, Infinity shall not purchase existing inventory of AbbVie pursuant to Section 12.3.15 in an amount that would prevent AbbVie from continuing such distribution and sales. For clarity, following the effective date of termination of this Agreement in its entirety, the Parties’ obligations under Section 3.7 shall terminate, and Infinity shall have the right to engage one or more other partners or distributors of Products in all or part of the Territory during the Agreement Wind-Down Period. Any Products sold or disposed by AbbVie or its Affiliates or Sublicensees during the Agreement Wind-Down Period shall be subject to the applicable payments under the Financial Exhibit. After the Agreement Wind-Down Period, AbbVie and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall no longer have a right to sell Products hereunder.

 

103


12.3.14. Customer Information. AbbVie shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees, transfer and assign to, and hereby does assign to Infinity or its designee(s) all promotional materials, customer data, competitive intelligence data, market research and other materials, information or data related to the marketing, promotion or sale of Licensed Compounds or Products in the Territory or the terminated country, as applicable, (“Marketing-Related Materials”) in their possession or control as of the effective date of such termination, to the extent necessary or reasonably useful for the Commercialization of Licensed Compounds or Products in the Territory or terminated country, as applicable.

12.3.15. Return of Confidential Information. Within [**] days after the effective date of termination of this Agreement in its entirety, or earlier if requested by a Party, each Party shall, and cause its Affiliates to (a) destroy, all tangible items solely comprising, bearing or containing any Confidential Information of the other Party that are in such first Party’s or its Affiliates’ possession or control, and provide written certification of such destruction, or (b) prepare such tangible items of the other Party’s Confidential Information for shipment to such other Party, as such other Party may direct, at the first Party’s expense; provided, that, in any event, (x) each Party may retain one copy of the Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent necessary to perform its obligations that survive expiration or termination of this Agreement; (y) such first Party may retain one copy of such Confidential Information of the other Party for its legal archives; and (z) Infinity may retain AbbVie’s Confidential Information to the extent necessary for Infinity to exercise its rights that survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

12.3.16. Transition; Manufacturing; Inventory. AbbVie and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with Infinity and its designees to facilitate a smooth, orderly and prompt transition to Infinity or its designees of the activities with respect to Licensed Compounds and Products, including any ongoing Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Compounds and Products, for a period requested by Infinity (not to exceed [**] after the Term). Except as expressly stated in this ARTICLE 12, all out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Parties in connection with transition activities conducted under this ARTICLE 12 shall be borne by the AbbVie. If AbbVie or its Affiliate Manufactured or had Manufactured any Licensed Compound or Product at the time of termination, then AbbVie (or its Affiliate) shall continue to provide for Manufacturing of such Licensed Compound or Product for Infinity, at [**] therefor, from the effective date of such termination until such time as Infinity is able, using Diligent Efforts to do so, to secure an acceptable alternative manufacturing source from which sufficient quantities of such Licensed Compound or Product may be procured and legally sold throughout the Territory, but in any event no longer than [**] months after the effective date of termination. If a Sublicensee Manufactures a Licensed Compound or Product on AbbVie’s or its Affiliate’s behalf at the time of termination, upon request of Infinity, AbbVie shall use Diligent Efforts to transfer the applicable Sublicense to Infinity on or promptly after the effective date of termination. Upon the expiration of such period or the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Infinity shall have the right to purchase from AbbVie, and AbbVie shall sell to Infinity if requested by Infinity, all of AbbVie’s and its Affiliate’s existing inventory of Licensed Compounds and Products at a price equal to [**] for such Licensed Compounds and Products (taking into account the Supply Price for any portion of such inventory previously shared by AbbVie under this Agreement).

 

104


12.3.17. Cooperation. Each Party shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to comply with the obligations in this Section 12.3.

12.3.18. Cross Termination. The Supply Agreements shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement, with the relevant sections therein stated to survive termination so surviving.

ARTICLE 13.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

13.1. Alternative Dispute Resolution. Except for the Excluded Matters and the Excluded Claims (including those matters described in the final sentence of Section 2.9.2), any dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related in any way to this Agreement or the interpretation, application, breach, termination or validity thereof (a “Dispute”), in each case which, if it is a dispute within the scope of Section 2.9 (other than an Excluded Matter), has been referred to the Executive Officers for resolution in accordance with Section 2.9 and has not been resolved within the time specified in Section 2.9, will be resolved by alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) as follows:

13.1.1. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English.

13.1.2. To begin an ADR proceeding, a Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of the Dispute to be resolved by ADR. Within [**] days after its receipt of such notice, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating the ADR, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR. Thereafter, no new issues can be added absent consent of the tribunal, which consent shall be granted for good cause. In assessing whether good cause exists for permitting the addition of new issues, the tribunal shall consider all relevant factors, including whether justice is served by allowing the addition of new issues, whether a Party unduly delayed in seeking to add a new issue, and whether the other Party would be unfairly prejudiced by the addition of the new issues. The ADR shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to the then-current JAMS Comprehensive Rules and Procedures, except as modified under this Section 13.1.

13.1.3. Within [**] days following the initiation of the ADR proceeding, the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral from the JAMS list of neutrals to preside in the resolution of all issues in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral (who does not need to be from the JAMS list) within such period, each Party will select one (1) independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral and, within [**] days thereafter, those two neutrals will select a third independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral from the JAMS list of neutrals to preside as the chair of the panel of such three neutrals (such neutral(s), the “Neutral”). None of the neutrals selected may be current or former employees, officers or directors of either Party or its Affiliates. Furthermore, the following provisions shall supplement (but not replace) the provisions of the JAMS Comprehensive Rules and Procedures regarding neutrality:

EXHIBIT A

FINANCIAL EXHIBIT

Net Profit or Loss” in the United States shall be calculated in accordance with this Exhibit A. Net Profit or Loss shall exclude all of the payments set forth in Section 7.1, all Development Costs and capital expenditures, and any other cost not specifically included in Allowable Expenses, including costs attributable to general corporate activities, executive management, investor relations, treasury services, business development, corporate government relations, external financial reporting and other overhead activities. For the sake of clarity, cost items included in components of Net Profit or Loss shall not be double counted and shall not be included in Development Costs.

Calculation of Net Profit or Loss

Net Profit or Loss in the United States shall be calculated for each Calendar Quarter by determining the Net Sales of Products in the United States, adding any other income and subtracting the sum of the Allowable Expenses (in each case, to the extent not already deducted from Net Sales and with respect to the Products in the United States) incurred with regard to Products in the United States during such Calendar Quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a Calendar Year-to-date basis, Allowable Expenses shall not be included in such calculation if such expenses are in excess of the amounts allocated for such Calendar Year-to-date period in the US Commercialization Budget and each Party will be solely responsible for Allowable Expenses it incurs in excess of the amounts set forth in the US Commercialization Budget; provided, however, that Allowable Expenses in excess of the US Commercialization Budget shall be included in the calculation of Net Profit or Loss (i) if the JSC approves such excess Allowable Expenses (either before or after they are incurred), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent the Allowable Expenses in excess of the US Commercialization Budget were not within the reasonable control of the Party (or Party’s Affiliate) incurring such expense; (ii) to the extent such excess does not exceed by more than ten percent (10%) of the total Allowable Expenses allocated to be incurred by such Party and its Affiliates in the applicable Calendar Year-to-date period in accordance with the US Commercialization Budget for such Calendar Year; provided, however, that if any such excess Allowable Expenses are excluded from sharing by the Parties for a particular Calendar Year-to-date period pursuant to the foregoing clause, such excess Allowable Expenses shall be carried forward to subsequent Calendar Quarters (provided, that such Calendar Quarters fall within the same Calendar Year); or (iii) if such Allowable Expense is a Shared Product Liability Cost which were not anticipated at the time the US Commercialization Budget was established for a Calendar Year, in which case such Shared Product Liability Costs shall not be included for determining whether the Parties have exceeded the amounts budgeted to be incurred by such Parties in such Calendar Year for Allowable Expenses.


Definitions

The following definitions shall apply for purposes of calculating pre- and post-Commercialization Net Profit or Loss in accordance with this Exhibit A.

(1) “Allowable Expenses” means, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and any US Commercialization Plan hereunder, the sum of the following costs and expenses incurred following the Effective Date by the Parties or their Affiliates, in the course of the Commercialization of the Products in the US Territory in accordance with this Agreement during the applicable Calendar Quarter or the applicable Calendar Year, in each case that are incurred in accordance with the US Commercialization Budget (each as defined in the section listed in parentheses below):

INFINITY AND ABBVIE ANNOUNCE GLOBAL STRATEGIC

COLLABORATION TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE DUVELISIB

(IPI-145) IN ONCOLOGY

– Infinity to Receive $275 Million Up-Front Payment and $530 Million in Potential

Milestones –

– Companies to Jointly Develop and Commercialize Duvelisib in U.S., with Equal Profit

Share; Infinity to Receive Royalties on Sales Outside the U.S. –

– Infinity to Host Conference Call Today at 8:30 A.M. ET/7:30 A.M. CT –

Cambridge, MA and North Chicago, Ill – September 3, 2014 – Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: INFI) and AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) today announced that they have entered into a global collaboration to develop and commercialize duvelisib (IPI-145), Infinity’s oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma, for the treatment of patients with cancer. Duvelisib has shown clinical activity across a broad range of blood cancers, including indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Infinity is conducting registration-focused trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of duvelisib, including DYNAMOTM, a Phase 2 study in patients with iNHL, and DUOTM, a Phase 3 study in patients with CLL.


Under the terms of the agreement, Infinity will receive an upfront payment of $275 million and is eligible to receive up to $530 million in additional payments for the achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones, including up to $405 million for the achievement of milestones through the first commercial sale of duvelisib. In the U.S., the companies will jointly commercialize duvelisib and will share equally in any potential profits. Outside the U.S., AbbVie will be responsible for the conduct and funding of commercialization of duvelisib, and Infinity is eligible to receive tiered double-digit royalties on net product sales.

“We believe that duvelisib is a very promising investigational treatment based on clinical data showing activity in a broad range of blood cancers,” said Michael Severino, M.D., AbbVie executive vice president and chief scientific officer. “The addition of duvelisib will complement AbbVie’s emerging oncology pipeline and expand our research into combination therapies to generate improved outcomes for cancer patients. We look forward to working with Infinity to bring duvelisib to patients worldwide.”

“This collaboration is an important step toward fulfilling Infinity’s objective of bringing better treatments to patients and further advances our goal of building a sustainable, fully integrated biotechnology company,” stated Adelene Q. Perkins, chair, president and chief executive officer at Infinity. “AbbVie will be a wonderful partner for Infinity, bringing all of the expertise and scale of a successful, well established company, together with the energy, drive, innovation, and nimbleness of a young organization. We look forward to advancing duvelisib through monotherapy studies designed to enable registration and in furthering our shared longer-term vision of combining duvelisib with both current standards of care and novel, targeted therapies.”

Additional Details About the Collaboration

Development and commercialization activities under the collaboration will be managed through a shared governance structure. In the U.S., Infinity and AbbVie will jointly commercialize duvelisib, assuming regulatory approval, with Infinity booking sales, and will share equally in any potential profits or losses. Outside the U.S., AbbVie will be responsible for conducting and funding of any commercialization of duvelisib, and Infinity is eligible to receive tiered royalties on net product sales, with percentages ranging from 23.5 percent to 30.5 percent.

For sales of duvelisib in the U.S., AbbVie and Infinity will share equally the existing royalty obligations to Mundipharma International Corporation Limited/Purdue Pharmaceutical Products L.P., and Infinity will be responsible for these royalty obligations outside of the U.S. Infinity will also be responsible for the existing royalty obligations to Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company for sales of duvelisib worldwide.


As part of the strategic collaboration, the companies will share responsibility for the conduct of specific trials specified within an agreed-upon global development plan, with each company leading the development of certain trials within the plan. For the initial global development plan agreed to by the companies, Infinity will fund the trials it conducts and the companies will share equally the funding of trials conducted by AbbVie. The agreement includes plans to launch multiple Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies of duvelisib in hematologic malignancies over the next several years.

Conference Call Today at 8:30 a.m. ET/7:30 a.m. CT

Infinity will hold a conference call at 8:30 a.m. to discuss the strategic collaboration announced today. A live webcast of the conference call can be accessed in the Investors/Media section of Infinity’s website at www.infi.com. To participate in the conference call, please dial (877)  ###-###-#### (domestic) and (631)  ###-###-#### (international) five minutes prior to start time. The conference ID number is 97402440. An archived version of the webcast will be available on Infinity’s website for 30 days.

About the Development of Duvelisib for the Treatment of Blood Cancers

Infinity and AbbVie are developing duvelisib, an oral inhibitor of Class I PI3K-delta,gamma. The PI3Ks are a family of enzymes involved in multiple cellular functions, including cell proliferation and survival, cell differentiation, cell migration and immunity. The PI3K-delta,gamma isoforms are preferentially expressed in leukocytes (white blood cells), where they have distinct and mostly non-overlapping roles in immune cell development and function. Targeting PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma may provide multiple opportunities to develop differentiated therapies for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.

In 2013, Infinity launched the DUETTSTM (Duvelisib Trials in Hematologic Malignancies) program, a worldwide investigation of duvelisib in blood cancers. As part of the DUETTS program, patient enrollment is ongoing in DYNAMOTM, a Phase 2 monotherapy study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of duvelisib in patients with refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01882803), and DUOTM, a Phase 3 monotherapy study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of duvelisib in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (NCT02004522). DYNAMO+RTM, a Phase 3 study of duvelisib in combination with rituximab in patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma (NCT02204982), is expected to start in 2014.

Additionally, a Phase 1 study of duvelisib in patients with advanced blood cancers is ongoing (NCT01476657).

Management’s expectations and, therefore, any forward-looking statements in this press release could also be affected by risks and uncertainties relating to a number of other factors, including the following: Infinity’s results of clinical trials and preclinical studies, including subsequent analysis of existing data and new data received from ongoing and future studies; a failure of Infinity and/or AbbVie to fully perform under the strategic collaboration and/or an early termination of the collaboration and license agreement; the content and timing of decisions made by the U.S. FDA and other regulatory authorities, investigational review boards at clinical trial sites and publication review bodies; Infinity’s ability to obtain and maintain requisite regulatory approvals and to enroll patients in its clinical trials; unplanned cash requirements and expenditures; development of agents by Infinity’s competitors for diseases in which Infinity is currently developing or intends to develop its product candidates; and Infinity’s ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patent and other intellectual property protection for


any product candidates it is developing. These and other risks which may impact management’s expectations are described in greater detail under the caption “Risk Factors” included in Infinity’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 11, 2014, and other filings filed by Infinity with the SEC.
